Freedom Of Opinion Been Subjected To Abuse And Harassment‏ in Somaliland

HUBAAL Media Network encountered a major violation of freedom of press by being judicially targeted by the government after taking one of the analyses of Gregory R. Copley entitled ” Egypt’s Instability Triggers a New Proxy War against Ethiopia and its Allies ” that put the government to the immediate decision to close Hubaal office without any charge that could allow Hubaal to get their lawyers. There is no true liberty if law makes distinction between the citizens and the right implies that all are equal before the law, but in the case of Hubaal what we are witnessing is the irrespective act of the government suppressing the freedom of communication and expression.

Hubaal has been called the watchdog of democracy. It criticizes the ruling authority and keeps alive to its flaws and failings that put Hubaal CEO Mohamed Ahmed Jama life’s in danger after the failed assassination attempt that put all guilt in the presidential direction and an officer of the police caught.

As a citizen I am concerned with the rights of journalists and freedom of opinion, who had been subjected to abuse and harassment. The government must respect the press law and end the harassment of journalists.
