SOMALIA: UN ENVOY DECRIES JOURNALIST'S MURDER, UNDERSCORES NEED FOR
PRESS FREEDOMNew York, Jul 8 2013 12:00PMThe United Nations envoy in
Somalia today underscored the importance of protecting journalists and
defending press freedom, following the killing of a television
reporter on Sunday.

Libaan Abdullahi Farah 'Qaran,' a reporter for <em>Kalsan TV</em>
based in Gaalkacyo, the capital of the north-central region of Mudug,
was reportedly shot dead while returning home from work.

Nicholas Kay, the Secretary-General's Special Representative and head
of the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), expressed his
heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, and
to all media professionals in Somalia.

"UNSOM is dedicated to working with Somali authorities to strengthen
the security and justice sectors in order to ensure that Somalia is
safe and that perpetrators of violent crime are brought to justice,"
he stated in a news release.

Mr. Kay also noted that this is a "politically tense" period in
Puntland ahead of local elections, and he called for restraint on the
part of all political actors.

UNSOM said the latest killing brings to five the number of journalists
murdered this year in Somalia, which continues to be one of the most
dangerous places in the world to be a media professional.Jul 8 2013
