Journalist Ola Xama has filed a civil lawsuit against the “Prapaskena” portal and another lawsuit against “Dita Newspaper”. Both of these media channels are alleged to have defamed her by calling her a paid journalist, a paid killer, and other untrue epithets.
At the same time, the journalist Xama claims that through these articles, her family members were also harmed. The lawsuit was filed in the Civil Court.
