Black Bloc anti-fascists whose members assaulted two Global News journalists at a demonstration in Quebec last weekend defended their actions Thursday and threatened more violence against journalists covering future protests in order to, according to the post, "make demonstrations safer" for the group.

Excerpt:

Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, an organization which defends Canada's free press, denounced the violence and said it was "deeply concerned by the alleged assault."

"Assaults on media workers erode press freedom rights and undermine the critical role journalists play in strengthening democracy," the organization said in a statement. "During periods of social unrest, journalists play a crucial role as observers and disseminators of up-to-date news on these public interest issues, and thus must be allowed freedom to conduct their work."
