“Natoux was a protector of journalists,” recalled Oriol Jacklin, a journalist with Radio Regard FM. “He worked with everyone and respected everybody.” “You shouldn’t invite someone to cover a media event in an area you know is dangerous,” Jacalin said. “The negligence of the government took the life of two journalists, one police officer and left five other journalists with bullet wounds and awaiting operations.”
