Threats Targeting Journalists in Kenya

The United States Embassy has voiced concern over the growing threats and intimidation targeting journalists. During a meeting with The Standard Media Group management on Monday, embassy representatives reaffirmed their support for independent journalism and expressed their unease over the increasingly hostile environment for the press. “Threats to journalists are absolutely unacceptable. The hostile environment that has been described to us is something we are watching closely and reporting back to Washington. When journalists are targeted, something is fundamentally wrong,” said James Hagengruber. https://taifaleo.nation.co.ke/habari/kimataifa/wasiwasi-wa-ruto-kuhusu-mzozo-wa-mashariki-mwa-drc/
