Vienna, 3 April 2018

The Vienna South East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO) condems activities by the police in Czech Republic against journalists. Three investigative reporters, Jaroslav Kmenta from monthly magazine Reportér, Janek Kroupa, from Czech public radio station Český rozhlas, and Sabina Slonková from news website Neovlivním, published today a joint statement that said police tried to intimidate them by repeatedly bringing them in for questioning over their reporting on Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
