The assailants identities are not clear by now And it’s said that the attackers have taken
"Negah" TV channel reporter's recording camera as well.
Some reporters, especially in social media, believe that there is a hand of NOC officials behind this accident.
Meanwhile, NOC officials deny any involvement in the accident of beating 3TV channel reporter while accepting war of words between President of NOC and the reporter of 1TV during press conference.
In a declaration of NOC yesterday evening it was mentioned that "NOC President, in the presence of 16th district Police Commander, had promised the reporters to find the aggressors.”
According to the NOC officials, people who want to bring the reputations of this administration under question, assaulted those reporters in order to show that the reporters are attacked by sportsmen of NOC.
Journalist organizations and reporters’ support institutions want the identities of the attackers to be revealed while strictly condemn the attack.
