Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican Chapter of the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA, yesterday applauded what it calls the \u2018rare\u2019 judicial conviction of the originator of an attack on a local newspaper in the centre of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor MISA, this is one of the rare cases in which individuals averse to the press, who steal and vandalise media equipment, are held responsible for their actions,\u201d a statement from the body reads.<\/p>\n

At issue is the theft of a mobile phone and destruction of work by the newspaper \u2018Profundus\u2019 in Nhamatanda district, following intimidation by municipal authorities of journalists working there in November, 2022.<\/p>\n

Despite being notified, the now-convicted man, identified as Moise\u0301s Manuel, never attended the trial, and was convicted in absentia and sentenced by the Judicial Court of Nhamatanda to six months in prison and a fine of 5,000 meticais (\u20ac72.00).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the meantime, a search and arrest warrant has been issued for him to serve the sentence resulting from this trial,\u201d MISA announced.<\/p>\n

MISA saluted Nhamatanda\u2019s judicial bodies \u201cfor their courage and professionalism\u201d.<\/p>\n

The organisation appealed to justice authorities \u201cfrom top to bottom, to follow Nhamatanda\u2019s example of exemplary punishment for aggressors of journalists who, although duly denounced and sometimes well known, remain unpunished,\u201d the organization\u2019s comments conclude.<\/p>\n

One of the most serious cases occurred in August, 2020, when a fire in Maputo devoured the facilities of Canal de Moc\u0327ambique, a leading weekly newspaper in the country.<\/p>\n

The incident was declared an act of arson by the paper and condemned by domestic and international press freedom organisations, but authorities remained unable to clarify the cause of the blaze.<\/p>\n

All our freedom depends on press freedom.<\/p>\n

But in every corner of the world, freedom of the press is under attack.<\/p>\n
