UN & CPJ condemn attack on Iranian TV channel.

The United Nations Secretary-General and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) have strongly condemned the recent attack on an Iranian television channel. Both entities expressed deep concern over the violation of media freedom and the safety of journalists. The UN Secretary-General emphasized that targeting media outlets undermines freedom of expression and the right to information. CPJ, a global organization advocating for press freedom, called the incident an alarming threat to journalists and media personnel, urging for an immediate investigation and accountability. The attack on the Iranian TV channel has sparked international criticism and renewed calls for the protection of media workers in conflict zones and politically sensitive areas. Press freedom advocates stress that such acts aim to silence voices and restrict independent journalism. Both the UN and CPJ reiterated their commitment to upholding the safety, independence, and integrity of the press worldwide, urging all parties to respect media rights under international law.
