Jelena Jindra published a series of articles on the H-alter portal entitled “System for child protection or child abuse?” in which she problematizes the work of Gordana Buljan Flander, and the Polyclinic for the Protection of Children and Youth in the City of Zagreb. Judge Andrija Krivak signed the decision by which H-alter is imposed a temporary measure prohibiting the publication of articles about Buljan Flander the director of the Polyclinic. At the same time, the court gave an evaluation of the journalistic research of colleague Jindra without hearing the editor or journalist and the representative of the publisher. Instead of discussing possible doubts in the regular process, the judge decided to forbid H-alter from investigating the conduct of a public institution and its director until further notice. This is the first time in the practice of the Croatian judiciary that such a ban has been passed.
