(RSF/IFEX) – According to information released by RSF on 19 May 1998, on 15
May, Mercedes Mila, host of a debating programme on the television station
Antena 3, and Jose Maria Calleja, a journalist with the television station
Canal Plus Spain, were the victims of death threats. The threats were
written in paint on the wall of a cultural centre in San Sebastian (in the
Basque province of Guipuzcoa, in northern Spain). The names of the two
journalists were placed at the centre of a target drawn on the wall, with
death threats written alongside.
Thus far, nobody has claimed responsibility for the threats, which occurred
as the two journalists were planning to organise a conference to take place
at the cultural centre.
