SafeJournalists Network commends the approval of the circular by the General Prosecutor, Olsian Çela, for the investigation of issues related to the safety of journalists. This action is essential to creating a safer environment for journalists and media workers in Albania.
Furthermore, the designation of a contact point in the General Prosecutor’s Office for reporting and following up on cases of attacks against journalists and media workers represents another critical measure for their protection.
SafeJournalists Network stresses that the implementation of this circular is crucial and the prioritization of the investigation of the cases of attacks against journalists and media professionals ensures due process. We encourage journalists to report cases to the law enforcement authorities.
