The European Broadcasting Union (EBU)*┬а today criticised the actions of authorities in Moldova over the past week to restrict reporting from the country. Romanian journalists in particular seem to have been singled out, and either refused entry to Moldova, or have been harassed in the country.
Mr. Jean R├йveillon, Director General of the EBU, declared that,
┬а”There can be no freedom without freedom to inform the public from wherever there is a story to tell. The freedom and safety of journalists must always be respected” ,
he added:
“We urge authorities in Moldova to afford journalists, of every nationality, the freedom to report from Moldova.”
