The ruling Democratic Party issued a statement berating Na, but it also criticized the Bloomberg reporter by name, accusing her of writing a treacherous story, as a South Korean citizen, that insulted the head of state.
The Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club issued a statement expressing “grave concern over the ruling Democratic party’s statement singling out a Bloomberg reporter,” saying it “resulted in serious threats to her personal safety.”
“It is disturbing for any politician to accuse any journalist of treason — a criminal offence — for reporting on matters of public interest or voicing an opinion. This is a form of censorship and journalistically chilling,” the statement said
