You can now listen to Antigua News articles!
The media landscape in Dominica is reeling after a shocking incident where a police officer “handled” a reporter from EMO news.
Eyewitnesses were horrified to see the officer aggressively confront the journalist, attempting to prevent her from capturing footage of a major protest demanding electoral reform.
The officer’s voice can be heard in a video telling the reporter to “Get Out,” a clear indication of the suppression of press freedom.
This incident has ignited outrage among media representatives and the public alike.
As tensions rise and the protests intensify, the call for accountability has never been more urgent. What we are witnessing is not just an attack on a journalist but an alarming threat to free speech and democracy in Dominica.
The world is watching—what will happen next?
The reporters phone was also taken and distroyed by lawmen according to her boss.
This has to be the most dotish story reported. Journalist are not above the law and must comply with lawful instructions of the police. But typical of you all to play victim.
Wow!! is all I will say, to this response..
Anonymous I see you’re at it again. Freedom of the press is the corner stone of a free democratic society so stop acting like an egotistical dunce.
Without reporters, people like Anonymous wouldn’t have a life. Now to add my 7th sence. It seems she is standing in a public place. He had no right to drag her Camera. Police always believes they are above the law everywhere. It is the spirit that drives them crazy. That eighty something old man they dragged and dumped in the back of the vehicle. They had to eventually drop charges against the man now they are being investigated. That poor dude who was on his way to work in Parham they gave a slam because he looked “suspicious.” Manny James…Killed while running away. Bruce Greenaway. Oh well justice will prevail. The final judge is NOT a man and he will NOT let their deeds remain unjudged. So police carry on………………..tick tock…your time will come
That’s why he is anonymous meaning not man enough, or woman enough to type in a name. Hiding behind negative and on constructive comments.
the world is going wrong
