At the meeting organized by the East Africa Law Society (EALS) in collaboration with Media Council of Tanzania (MCT) legal and media experts\/ facilitators, they said evidence will help to understand the scale of threats and other violations of their rights, so as to struggle for freedom and justice.<\/p>\n

Programme Officer at Media Council of Tanzania (MCT) in charge of media monitoring, press freedom violation Mr Paul Mallimbo- shared some of the recorded incidents of threats and intimidations and attacks on Journalists in the country, adding that most journalists do not report work-related challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraged to quickly report any harassment and violation of your rights while on duty. Do not fear to report even on condition not to reveal your name. We have received reports of some journalists facing abuse and attacks, while going about their daily work \u2013 including being forcibly detained. Never remain silent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ms Hawra Shamte (Media analysts) and Ms Shifa Said of the MCT, in separate presentations, encouraged students to read\/study widely about laws governing their profession so that they are in a better position, not to easily fall into offences due to law ignorance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
