Do jem në protestë.
Jo vetëm si gazetar, por si qytetar.
Sepse UÇK nuk është parti.
Nuk është as e Ramës, as e Sali Berishës, as e Albin Kurtit, as e askujt tjetër. UÇK është gjak.
Është dhimbje, është plagë, është nder.
Është zëri i një populli që deshi lirinë më shumë se jetën.
🇦🇱 The MFRR demands the cessation of the blockade of the Focus Media Group building & the prompt return of equipment, as per the Tirana District Court ruling. Each day of disruption is a direct assault on media freedom. We urge respect for the protection of journalists' sources.
A valuable exchange with two young professional journalists from the Association of Journalists of Albania. Media freedom & safety of journalists including hate speech are top priorities for NL, as they are essential pillars of the rule of law and democracy. @Agsh_aja
🇦🇱 The long-running SLAPP case filed by former head of the Tirana prosecution Elizabeta Imeraj against @IsamyzyrajAlb has faced another setback. The case is set to restart due to a complete change in the jury, prompted by the reassignment of a former judge to another court.
🇦🇱⬇️Great news! Young professional journalists in Albania are taking charge by establishing the Association of Journalists of Albania.

🗣🧵Following the status of our colleague @StafaOsman, stating that the Alb Guard of the Republic is not allowing the media to record the Memorial Ceremony at the Martyrs' cemetery, we emphasize the importance of ensuring access to journalists and media workers in public events.
The MPs of the opposition in #Albania did not allow the normal parliamentary session to take place. For more than a month, the opposition has blocked #parliamentary life. Amid chaos and smoke, the #majority voted the country's #budget for 2024
#albania#fire#smoke
🚨SJ 🇦🇱 has registered the attack on journalist Afrovita Hysaj, strongly demanding an immediate retraction & a public apology from Channel 6+1 Vlora. We call for upholding journalism ethics & the protection of media personnel.
