[creative-radio] Philippines - No let-up in violence against journalists as radio host is wounded in shooting

 

RT @RSF_RWB: Philippines - No let-up in violence against journalists as
radio host is wounded in shooting:

http://bit.ly/5wclej

[excerpt]

"Nothing seems able to stop the violence against journalists," Reporters
Without Borders said today after learning that radio commentator Eugene
Paet was wounded in a shooting attack yesterday in a the northern province
of Ilocos Sur.

"After a nightmare 2009 culminating in the massacre of 30 journalists by a
militia on Mindanao Island, one might have hoped that journalists would
stop being the target of killings," Reporters Without Borders said. "But
this attempt to murder a radio presenter marks a deplorable start to 2010
that bodes ill for the rest of the year."

The press freedom organisation added: "The authorities must, as a matter
of urgency, make 2010 the year of an offensive against impunity, and must
act with courage and energy against those who bring disgrace on the
Philippines by instigating his kind of violence."

The motive for the attempt to kill Paet is not yet clear but his family
said it could be linked to criticism he has expressed on the air. Paet was
shot twice very near Bantay police station as he was driving home after
work. His assailants were two unidentified men on a motorcycle using a .45
revolver. He was rushed to a Vigan hospital where he was said to be in a
stable condition.

[creative-radio] Zambia:Opposition Patriotic Front (PF) cadres storm Mazabuka community radio station

 

RT @mediamentor: Opposition Patriotic Front (PF) cadres storm Mazabuka
community #radio station | #Lusaka
http://ow.ly/SAYR

[excerpt]

Opposition Patriotic Front (PF) cadres in Mazabuka yesterday stormed
Mazabuka community radio station and ordered staff in the newsroom to
immediately suspend a live phone in programme in which the station
featured their provincial chairperson Opper Hamiyanze.

The cadres who were led by District chairperson, Nelson Simbule and
Provincial youth chairman, Brave Mweetwa forced their way into the
newsroom at 12:20 hours, directed reporters to stop the programme failure
to which they would enter the studio to ' evict' Mr Hamiyanze.

Reporters had to abandon the radio station for fear of possible harassment
from the cadres since the suspension of the programme could only be
sunctioned by Station manager who was at the time of the fracas out of the
station.

PF cadres chanted anti- Hamiyanze slogans as they waited for their
superiors to force Mr Hamiyanze from the studio though their demands could
not be heeded too.

The cadres briefly turned the community radio station into a political
battle field as they hurled insults and prepared themselves for a pysical
fight with Mr. Hamiyanze.

However, the cadres fled in their hired car after word went round that
Police were on their way to effect their arrest.

Police who arrived at the radio sation later found a skeleton of senior PF
party officials under a mango tree waiting for Mr. Hamiyanze to finish the
interview.

The police led by District Crimininal Investigation officer, Peter
Chibanda and station inspector Mufaya only interviewed the reporters and
left at 13:30 hours.
