The Federation of Nepali Journalists has drawn attention to the beating of journalist Sudip Thapa by local Himanshu Bohara and others in Mitranagar, Dhangadhi Sub-metropolitan City-3.
The Federation's Kailali branch has stated that Thapa suffered injuries to his eyes and head when he was beaten up while returning home from his office on Saturday night.
This incident in itself is condemnable and an act against the press. The Federation draws the attention of the local administration to immediately bring the culprits to justice and to pay special attention to the safety of the press.
In addition, it wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
