DW condemns attack on reporter at Dusseldorf concert
DW Arabic reporter Adonis Alkhaled was assaulted during an interview with Syrian musician Al Shami. The broadcaster has called for the full force of the law to be used against the perpetrators and instigators of the act.
Germany’s international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle (DW), denounced Sunday what it said was a “disgusting act of violence,” after one of its reporters was allegedly attacked on the sidelines of a concert in the western German city of Dusseldorf this weekend.
DW Arabic reporter Adonis Alkhaled said he was assaulted and beaten by security staff after conducting an interview with the Syrian musician Al Shami.
A spokesperson for Al Shami insisted the “interview proceeded smoothly without any issues,” and claimed that the violent incident took place after the musician and his crew had left.
