CIVIL: MOI should prevent attacks on journalists, activists and public personas

CIVIL – Center for Freedom condemned the physical attack on TV 24’s journalist which happened during the protests last night.

“This isn’t an isolated incident and it is becoming obvious that the violence is part of the image of the protests from its very beginning. There were attacks on journalists that were doing their job i.e. to inform the general public about events. Various Human Rights activists and public personas are also under the attack. It is unacceptable and this has to stop now! CIVIL – Center for freedom is repeating its call to MOI to take urgent measures to prevent the violence over media people and general” said CIVIL.

The NGO urges all citizens who are under pressure to participate in any kind of political activities against their will, to report their case to CIVIL at monitor@civil.mk, tel. 02 / 520 91 76 or at the organization’s Facebook page.
