Bolivia's National Association of the Press (ANP) has condemned the aggression against journalists and the obstacles they face in covering politics, after a journalist and two videographers were attacked by a rock-throwing crowd of sympathizers of Sucre's Mayor-elect Jaime Barrón, reports Los Tiempos.
The journalists, who weren't hurt, work for the government-run Channel 7.
The ANP also called on police to respect journalists, as reporters from various media have been denied access to government buildings.
