On March 12, 2024, an email from a suspicious account was received in the email inbox of the Ora News television station’s editorial team and its management. The content of this communication explicitly threatens the life of Ora News journalist Isa Myzyraj.

The message contains dangerous and anti-Semitic language, disseminating not only threatening messages regarding the professional integrity of journalist Myzyraj but also using narratives based on sexual orientation.

Safe Journalist expresses deep concern regarding this unprecedented case, which strongly attacks media freedom, as well as the personal and professional integrity of journalist Myzyraj. It is crucial to address and take immediate steps to ensure the safety and protection of journalists, opposing any form of threat and violence in our society.
