In the latest in a series of actions against the "Afrika" newspaper, police forcibly entered the publication's premises and removed a banner hanging from its balcony.
A gunman tried to enter the offices of "Afrika" newspaper, shot at editor Ali Osman and threatened the life of journalist and publisher Sener Levent.
Journalists reporting on the violent dispersal of a protest in North Nicosia were beaten and their cameras were broken.
The IFJ says that journalists working in the northern part of Cyprus face extremely difficult conditions with almost daily press freedom violations as well as intimidation against journalists who dare to report on controversial issues.
