Journalist Zana Avdio criticized Granit Xhaka.
After that, she was forced to live under police protection, according to Blake.
– I received many letters with concrete threats against me and my family, says Avdio.
The World Cup match between Switzerland and Serbia was chaotic. There was an extraordinary feeling when the Swiss finally managed to win 3-2.
One of the players who grabbed the headlines during the charged match is Granit Xhaka. The 30-year-old Swiss, who hails from Kosovo and Albania, fell between the legs and targeted the Serbian bench.
Shaka’s family attacked
The incident drew attention in Switzerland, and Xhaka was criticized by journalist Zana Avdio, among others.
“Xhaka’s work is a disgrace. It’s the work of a street boy,” Avdeo wrote on Facebook afterwards.
The journalist later appeared on a TV show where she continued to criticize Xhaka.
– said Avdio, among other things, this gesture is a symbol of sexual assault.
He lives under police protection
The program also included Ragheb Xhaka, the father of the Arsenal player, on the phone. He said that the female journalist should be “careful about what she says”, to which Avdeo is said to have replied “what else will happen?”.
– I’ll tell you what happens later, said Ragip Shaka.
In addition, Granit’s brother, Taulant, wrote a message addressed to journalist Avdiu on Instagram.
“It’s a shame. You don’t have Albanian blood at all.”
They say I must kill.
Now Blake states that Zana Avdio was forced to live under police protection for a week. The site writes that the journalist has been threatened, and that she has received more than 11,000 hateful comments.
– I received many letters with concrete threats against me and my family. They say that I should kill, that I should emigrate to Serbia, that I should rape. I’ve reported more than 200 letters, and several arrests have already been made, Avdio says.
