SARAJEVO, August 19 (FENA) - The OSCE Mission to BiH condemns every form of violence and threats directed towards journalist and author Martina Mlinarevic.
"One of the characteristics of democratic societies is the full enjoyment of fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience and expression as well as equal participation pf men and women in public life. In BiH these are all guaranteed by the Constitution. While constructive criticism of the written word is welcome, recent developments put the author in danger. We call on all relevant authorities in BiH to protect and react to jeopardizing personal freedoms and safety of all journalists, and particularly to ensure that female journalists can perform their duties equally, free from sexism and bias," said the OSCE Mission to BiH in a statement.
