The National Union of Journalists says it strongly condemns the harassment of reporters and photographers covering Easter Rising commemorations in Derry yesterday.
It says a number of petrol bombs were thrown towards journalists gathered to report on a parade in the Creggan area of the city, and a media crew was chased from the area by a group wearing balaclavas.
In a statement, the union says “this type of behaviour has no place in a democratic society”, and described it as a “depressing development” just weeks before the anniversary of the murder of journalist Lyra McKee.
