The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has cautioned political party supporters and security personnel to refrain from attacking journalists during the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries.
Speaking at a press briefing at the Ghana International Press Centre in Accra, GJA President, Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, said the Association would closely monitor the conduct of the primaries across the country.
He warned that any individual or group found to have assaulted or harassed journalists in the line of duty would be exposed publicly.
“The GJA will name and shame anyone who harms a journalist during the primaries,” he said.
Mr Dwumfour stressed that journalists play a critical role in Ghana’s democratic process and must be allowed to work freely and safely, urging political actors to respect media freedom.
