Former President John Mahama has urged President Nana Akufo-Addo to use this year’s World Press Freedom Day Celebration to bring an end to intimidation of journalists and civil society actors.
He made the call in a post sighted by African Entertainment on his official Facebook on May 3, 2021.
Today, May 3, marks the World Press Freedom Day.
The 2021 Global Conference is hosted by UNESCO and the Government of Namibia and it is taking place from 29 April – 3 May in Windhoek.
Mr. Mahama stated that “I want to encourage President Nana Akufo-Addo and his close associates to seize the occasion to create an atmosphere that is more tolerant of criticism and devoid of intimidation in order for the media, CSOs and individuals to freely express themselves and contribute to national discourse.”
