Journalists covering the US protests over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, in police custody have increasingly come under attack by police officers, even after clearly identifying themselves.
UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard said US police actions towards protesters and the media involve possible violations of international law.
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press called the targeting of journalists “reprehensible and clear violations of the First Amendment”.
