We, the undersigned human rights and press freedom organizations, are writing to express our deep concern regarding the arbitrary arrest, detention and persecution of Mr. Abdalle Ahmed Mumin, Secretary General of Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS), and call for all charges against him to be dropped immediately. We also call on the Somali government to end all threats, harassment, intimidation, and arbitrary arrests and detention of journalists and civil society actors in Somalia.
The Committee to Protect Journalists describes the arbitrary arrest of Abdalle Ahmed Mumin, the secretary-general of the Somali Journalists Syndicate, as an "act of agression."
