CJA concerned at attacks on press freedom
Commonwealth Journalists Association (CJA) has expressed deep concern at the blatant attacks on press freedom in Zimbabwe and expressed solidarity with the journalists who are bravely fighting the draconian actions of the authority.
CJA International President Hassan Shahriar in a statement in the city yesterday said it is surprised to see that Zimbabwe continues flagrantly to breach the Commonwealth principles it agreed to in the Harare Declaration of 1991 and the Millbrook Action Programme of 1995.
"Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of Commonwealth membership, yet Zimbabwean journalists are still deprived of their voice and the country of the only independent daily newspaper on which the people can depend to report the true situation in their country," he pointed out.
