2010-06-01: Author of report attacked in media
With the aim to blot the report on freedom of expression that we recently published together with YIHR (State of Constriction), an article was published on May 30th in the daily Express. The article violates the privacy of the author of the report by drawing unethical parallels between his private life and the report.
Together with a number of organisations we express our deepest concern with the continuous threats towards the work of human rights defenders and civil society organisations. We demand an end to the attempts to silence free speech in Kosovo. Read our statement here: Joint Statement on Freedom of Expression in Republic of Kosova.
