尼泊尔记者暴力示威 大家好！我是王璇，今天的theAsiaN新闻又同您见面了。 谁说秀才手无缚鸡之力？ 尼泊尔的记者们为了抗议所受到的粗暴对待，举行了带有暴力性质的示威运动。 这次示威活动是由尼泊尔记者联盟名下，名为“保护伞”的尼泊尔记者保护组织联合发起的。在示威过程中，出离愤怒的记者们一改往日文质彬彬的形象，为发泄不满情绪，他们当众毁坏并且焚烧了一辆自行车。 参与示威的上述记者组织，在尼泊尔当地颇具盛名，甚至有消息认为他们曾经是尼泊尔2006年暴动事件的关键组成部分。 在示威过程中，记者们通过袭击和谴责的方式，表达了对政府未能妥善地为记者提供安全而产生的不满情绪。 此外，示威活动中还有一些记者与维护治安人员发生了肢体冲突，导致部分人员不得不被送进医院接受治疗。 好，今天就到这里感谢您的收听。当然，和往常一样，欢迎您点击我们的网站，浏览我们为您提供的其他要闻。 我们的网址是：www.theasian.asia 明天见！
