    Fax News reporter Ledio Guni was physically attacked in Tirana on October 11 while reporting on the dispute between teachers and students’ families in the bar near “Çajupi” high school.

    He was tasked with reporting live from the event, but while he was filming with his camera from the media car he represents, a man physically attacked him, throwing a chair at him. He continued to attack Guni even though he kept repeating that he was a journalist.

    The police and other individuals who were present did not intervene during this situation.

    The Director of Information at Fax News, media Nertila Spiri noted that they are particularly concerned about the fact that the police did not react properly to ensure the protection of the journalist and the attack against Mr. Guni is not even reported in the official statement of the State Police about the conflict happened in Tirana.
