United Nations condemns killing of Afghan photoreporter

The head of the United Nations culture organisation UNESCO on Tuesday deplored the deadly suicide bombing on 16 November in Afghanistan's capital Kabul that killed 20 people, among them Afghan cameraman Hussain Nazari.

“I condemn the attack that killed Hussain Nazari and 19 others, and wounded reporter Taqi Sadid,” said Audrey Azoulay.

“We are once again reminded of the risks faced by media workers the world over. I call on the authorities to ensure an effective judicial enquiry into this case,” Azoulay went on.

Nazari, a cameraman for the Rah-e-Farda TV station and his colleague, Taqi Sadid, were covering a political meeting in Kabul at the time of the blast. Nazari was critically injured in the attack and succumbed to his injuries in hospital the following day.

The Islamic State jihadist group took credit for the bombing in a statement carried by its Amaq news agency. The Afghan Taliban denied responsibility for the attack.
