Media Suppression

Media suppression still a concern for PINA

In his statement for World Media Freedom Day, PINA President Moses Steven said it does not make sense when some of the leaders who have been entrusted to lead end up depriving citizens off their right to information and right to free expression.

Steven said some countries in the region have made progresses in having national media policies as well as passing legislations on Right to Information (RTI), yet there are some governments that continue to antagonise their state owned mediums and threaten to shut them down.
