‘’I firmly condemn the violent attacks and the recent online defamation campaign against independent media and civil society’s organizations, including a worrying trend of using the issue of foreign funding to stigmatize journalists and activists, undermining their reliability and essential role in the society. Acts of intimidation, threats, defamation and spreading false information against journalists and civil society’s organizations are punishable by law and must be promptly investigated and sanctioned,’’ said Janis Mazeiks.
