The journalist and editor of the portal “Indeksonline”, Alban Muhaxheri, informed AJK that he was interrogated for several hours at the Police Station in Kaçanik, after writing about a member of the Police on a local Facebook page.

According to Muhaxheri, he was asked to remove the writing or he would be held in custody for 48 hours.

AJK condemns the invitation of the Police to interrogate the journalist and sees this as open pressure on the work of the media.

AJK also invites the Kosovo Police to investigate the behavior of police officers and to ensure that such events do not recur.
