“As critical stakeholders in the media industry, we cannot remain unconcerned as these laws are used to arrest citizens and journalists and profer criminal charges over civil remedies for press and speech offenses that are merely defamatory.

UNESCO Country Representative, Mr Abdoulrahamane Diallo

The arbitrary application of these laws only serves to instill fear in the general populace”, Mr. Dwumfour.

He however cautioned Journalists to be circumspect in their workings assuring them that the GJA will continue to defend and protect them as far as Press freedom is comcerned.

The global theme for World Press Freedom Day 2023 is “Shaping a Future of Rights: Freedom of Expression as a Driver for all other human rights.”
