Bahrain was elected to the Executive Committee of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) following the election of Rashed Nabeel Al Hamer, Bahrain Journalists Association vice-chairman and chairman of its International Relations Committee, during the federation’s congress in Paris.
Mr Al Hamer secured 122 votes to win a seat on the Executive Committee for the upcoming three-year term, with support from Arab and international journalists’ unions and media organisations.
The IFJ, based in Brussels, represents more than 600,000 journalists worldwide and is marking its centenary this year.
