UN OFFICIAL CONDEMNS KILLING OF EGYPTIAN PHOTOJOURNALIST, URGES
RESPECT FOR RIGHT TO SAFETYNew York, Jul 17 2013 9:00AMThe head of
the United Nations agency tasked with defending press freedom today
denounced the killing of Egyptian press photographer Ahmed Assem
el-Senousy, and urged all parties to respect the right of journalists
to carry out their work in safe conditions.

"I condemn the killing of Ahmed Assem el-Senousy,"
<"http://www.unesco.org/new/en/media-services/single-view/news/director_general_condemns_killing_of_egyptian_photojournalist_ahmed_assem_el_senousy_and_urges_respect_for_journalists_right_to_safety/">said
the Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO), Irina Bokova.

"I urge all parties to respect the need of journalists to perform
their professional duties safely. Society as a whole depends on free
and independent media to make informed choices."

Mr. el-Senousy, 26, was a photographer with the newspaper
<em>Al-Horreya-Wal-Adalah</em> (Freedom and Justice). He was shot dead
on 8 July while covering a demonstration.

More than 80 people have reportedly been killed and thousands more
have been injured in the recent protests in Egypt, where the military
deposed President Mohamed Morsy and suspended the Constitution earlier
this month. Since then, Mr. Morsy's foes and supporters have continued
to face off in huge demonstrations, with security forces and police
adding to the deepening chaos.

UNESCO's statement comes as the Security Council is set to hold an
open debate today in New York on the protection of civilians in armed
conflict, particularly the protection of journalists. The session is
intended to, among other things, serve as a reminder that all
perpetrators of violence against journalists must be held accountable,
and that all States have a responsibility to combat impunity.Jul 17
