Journalist burned in the leg by a firecracker
A journalist was injured in the leg and suffered burns after a firecracker struck her while she was carrying out her duties near the protest area.
The case once again raises questions about safety on the ground, not only for protesters but also for media workers reporting amid the tensions.
A police officer was also injured
