Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican chapter of the regional press freedom body, MISA (Media Institute of Southern Africa) has condemned the death threats made against Gabriel Junior, the owner and Chairperson of the private television station, TV Sucesso.<\/p>\n

Junior announced on Sunday night, on his usual Sunday programme \u201cMoc\u0327ambique em Concerto\u201d that he had come under threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the time has come to ask you to pray for me\u201d, he told his audience, \u201cbecause over the last two weeks. I have received death threats. I though this was something temporary, but with each passing day the pressure from the threats is becoming greater\u201d.<\/p>\n

He gave no details about the threats or who was making them, but said he had immediately informed the authorities.<\/p>\n

In addition to his business interests, Gabriel Junior is a parliamentary deputy for the ruling Frelimo Party. But he has made no attempt to turn TV Sucesso into a Frelimo mouthpiece. Instead, the station has won applause for its professionalism and impartiality.<\/p>\n

TV Sucesso first came to prominence with its full coverage of the 2021-2022 trial of 19 people accused of involvement in the country\u2019s largest ever financial scandal, known as the case of the \u201chidden debts\u201d. It broadcast live almost every minute of the trial in which figures previously regarded as untouchable \u2013 such as the head of the security service and his deputy, Gregorio Lea\u0303o and Antonio Carlos do Rosario, were put under public scrutiny.<\/p>\n

This year, TV Sucesso has covered intensively the municipal elections, including the irregularities and the many accusations of fraud.<\/p>\n

A Monday statement from MISA condemned the threats against Gabriel Junior, and \u201cany other threats or intimidation against media professionals and managers, regardless of the motivations\u201d.<\/p>\n

It described such threats as \u201cserious attacks against the freedoms of the press and of expression\u201d. They were also serious violations of the country\u2019s press law and of the Mozambican constitution.<\/p>\n

MISA urged the authorities to investigate the threats against Gabriel Junior, and bring those responsible to trial. Such firm action would send a message that the authorities will not tolerate threats against journalists and media managers.<\/p>\n
