The Yemeni Press Syndicate on Saturday condemned beating journalist Mustafa Nasr by mayor of Sawan zone in the capital Sana’a while he was taking a picture for a poor family begging outside a mosque.

The syndicate said Mustafa was doing his “constitutional and legal” duty as a journalist and covering a case of poverty that the government must fight.

AlSahwa newspaper also condemned the “savagery” offensive against its editor Nasr and demanded that the Minister of Interior arrest the offender and punish him.
