SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga – Sudanese Journalists Network: harassment of journalists as frequent as during Al Bashir era
Radio Dabanga report that the Sudanese Journalists Network (SJN) publicly condemned “the brutal attack on journalist Mohamed El Mustafa by regular armed forces”.
The SJN affirmed its “firm solidarity” with journalist El Mustafa against violations, “which have unfortunately become as frequent as the violations and harassment practised by the ousted al-Bashir regime”.
The SJN also condemned the “persistent” ill-treatment of journalist Tarig Osman by the reception staff of the Committee for Dismantling the June 30 System and Recovering Stolen Funds, explaining that Osman was subjected to investigation and harassment by the anti-corruption committee’s employees and was denied entry, which means he was denied the right to obtain information.
The network called on the journalist community to take a serious stand against such aggressive and repressive practices by the regular forces of all kinds against journalists.
