Shillong, Oct 28: The Meghalaya Editors’ and Publishers’ Association (MEPA) strongly denounces the highhandedness by a group of youths on two journalists Riba Mary Suchiang of Batesi TV and Evangelist Khongwar of U Mawphor who were performing their duty during the rally on unemployment organised by the FKJGP in the city on Friday (28-10-2022).
The fact that the group of youths did not spare the two journalists even after they have identified themselves as journalists is something that is uncalled for and deplorable.
MEPA therefore urges the organisers of the rally to immediately identify the persons involved in the incident and take them to task as per law and also to apologise to the two journalists for the highhandedness meted out to them, the press statement issued by the president Mr. Monarch Shanong and Mr. John W Thabah general secretary.
