Imphal, August 28 2011:
The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union has taken strong exception to the threat served on the Editor of Huieyen Lanpao (English edition) in an unsigned letter as well as the threat on a reporter of ISTV, M Surendro for publising a news item by invoking the provisions of the RTI.
In a statement issued to the press today, AMWJU said that the threat issued on the Editor of Huieyen Lanpao in connection with the non-publication of a news item as well as the threat on the ISTV reporter for invoking RTI is akin to interfering in the working of a free media.
AMWJU said that two persons threatened Surendro for invoking the RTI and filing a story which was carried by ISTV.
The scribes' body also appealed to all to desist from such intimidatory tactics.
