Priority should be given to finding the
violators of the journalist
Tirana,
December 13, 2005
According to
press reports, Mr. Engjėllush Serjani, correspondent for several media outlets,
was attacked suddenly by unknown persons and was hurt. Considering his capacity
as a journalist, the Albanian Helsinki Committee suggests to the responsible
authorities to conduct full and immediate investigations on the act, eventhough
the motives of the attack are yet to be discovered.
The AHC deems
it necessary to recall that this is not the first instance of violation of
journalists. The AHC also considers that the legitimate protection of
journalists is related to protecting free speech and encouraging critique and
transparency.
