Details
“I condemn the killing of Mohammad al-Qadasi,” said the Director-General. “Journalists working in Yemen are taking tremendous risks to perform their professional duties, often providing civilians with information that is vital for their survival. I therefore call on all parties to ensure the safety of reporters and respect their civilian status in line with the Geneva Conventions.”
Mohammad al-Qadasi was killed on 22 January in the Khayami area of Yemen’s southwestern province of Taiz while working for the privately owned broadcaster Belquees TV.
