Press Terrified Universal TV Director abducted

Press Terrified Universal TV Director abducted

The Somali Journalists’ Rights Agency (SOJRA) is denouncing the abduction against Universal TV director in Mogadishu.

Somalia has not had a central government for close to two decades and it’s hard to work as a journalist. But the young Somali journalists decided to work in these hard circumstances.

Mr. Ibrahim Mohamed Hussein “Jeckey” abducted by unknown militia when he was on his way from Afgoye to the centre of the TV (http://tvuniversal.tv/NS/ ).

“We think this abduction is just like threatening from part of the Islamists in Somalia” said Daud Abdi Daud, SOJRA Executive director.

All Mogadishu media directors are now attentive to what is next this painful action against freedom of expression and press freedom in Somalia.

All the parts who are involving the violence are not going to protect the young journalists in Somalia and this caused fear against the press on day by day.
