The
National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) is today
outraged by
vicious
attack against female TV journalist Bisharo
Mohammed Waeys in Bossasso of Bari region on 4 May 2008 by unidentified
gunmen.
Armed men opened fire to her vehicle, but Bisharo,
who works for Eastern Television Network (ETN), escaped uninjured from
the
attack as she speedily drove towards here home. Today, 5 May 2008, she
was sent
two threatening short messages which said they would kill her if she
did not
stop the talk shows that she hosts.
“We strongly denounce this atrocious attack against
Bisharo Mohammed Waeys as clear attempt to victimize her because of her
journalistic
profession” said Omar Faruk Osman, NUSOJ Secretary General. “We demand
Puntland
authorities to protect her safety, investigate this attack, apprehend
perpetrators
and bring them before justice”.
