Global Free Expression Community Call For End to Repression of Journalists, Revision of Somali Media Law
21st. Feb 2008
Twenty-eight national, regional and international free expression organizations appealed to Somali Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein to use his leadership position to truly protect journalists’ and media workers’ safety by investigating attacks on journalists to end the current culture of impunity. The joint action was led by the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) and other members and partners of the International Freedom of Expression eXchange (IFEX).
The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) today condemns the attack carried out by armed forces of the Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government (TFG) at the offices of Waayaha Press, a Mogadishu-based privately owned weekly newspaper.
