"At least 10 journalists and press workers were assaulted while covering the march on April 9 in Caracas, according to a statement released by the National Union of Press Workers (SNTP, for its Spanish initials). The organization warned that these incidents occurred while the media professionals were covering the mobilization, which was convened to demand dignified wages and pensions.
According to the SNTP, the reporters were beaten, pepper-sprayed, and stripped of their belongings—allegedly by officers of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB)—who also reportedly blocked the advance of the demonstration. The organization noted that, to date, it has documented 10 cases, although it warned that the figure could be higher."
