‘We don’t have guns but we can fight with our pens’: Hiriga
16 Mar 2010, 7:20 PM
Attacks on five senior DhiTV senior officials and the stabbing of a Haveeru employee yesterday afternoon have sparked concern among media outlets that they could be subject to further attacks over their content.
DhiTV reported on its 2 o’clock news yesterday that alleged gang leader Ibrahim ‘Chika’ Nafiz had been released to house arrest. Soon after the broadcast, a gang reportedly stormed DhiTV studios.
Three hours later a Haveeru printery worker left in a critical condition after being stabbed outside the building.
Police have not yet confirmed whether the two cases are connected, but arrested ten people yesterday evening suspected of involvement in the attacks, including Chika.
