NAI, an organization supporting open media in Afghanistan, has labeled 2017 the second deadliest year for journalists in the country, saying that it has registered 141 incidents of violence against media workers this year.

The cases of violence against journalists dropped this year compared with 2016; however, NAI says the figures are still concerning for media workers in the war-hit Afghanistan.
