SafeJournalists Network condemns homophobic attack on President of the

The SafeJournalists Network shares deep concern over an offensive and homophobic article targeting journalist Isa Myzyraj and the Association of Journalists of Albania (AGSH).

This attack follows AGSH's dedicated efforts to document and raise awareness about the events surrounding the police crackdown on Focus Media Group and subsequent developments.

Through a statement published this evening, SafeJournalists emphasizes:

Such language and personal attacks are unacceptable, especially when directed at journalists who are fulfilling their professional duty to protect media freedom and the public's right to be informed. These tactics not only aim to discredit their work, but also foster a climate hostile to the free exercise of journalism in Albania.

We call on the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination, the Ombudsman, the Alliance Against Hate Speech and all relevant public institutions to urgently investigate the discriminatory nature of this article and take concrete measures, including a strong public condemnation of this rhetoric, to ensure that hate speech and personal attacks have no place in public discourse.

We express full solidarity with Isa Myzyraj, AGSH and all journalists and monitoring organizations in Albania, who work under pressure and intimidation to ensure that the public has access to accurate, coherent and independent information.

Every attack on journalists is an attack on democracy, the public interest, and fundamental human rights.
