Pepper spray attack on Klevi Muka, Berisha: An abhorrent crime and an attack on media freedom

The police pepper spray attack on News24 journalist Klevi Muka during the protest has prompted a reaction from Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha. Expressing concern over Muka’s injuries, Berisha condemned violence against journalists and described the incident as an abhorrent criminal act.

In his response, the Democratic Party leader attributed the attack to those he called “the Godfather’s narco-bandits.” According to Berisha, the journalist was attacked with an incendiary substance in an act of primitive revenge.
