Attacks on journalists and the media continued, as did the failure of the courts to adequately punish the perpetrators of these attacks.
(ANEM/IFEX) – 28 June 2011 – According to the findings of the monitoring team, in May 2011 attacks and various pressures on journalists and media continued, as did the failure of the courts to adequately punish the perpetrators of these attacks. Hence, preventive legal provisions and penal policies, both in legislation and in practice, are proving to be insufficient in preventing violations of freedom of expression and media freedom.
