Hate speech against journalist Rid Berisha, Prishtinë, 08.07.2024
The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is deeply concerned about recent online posts targeting journalist Rid Berisha from KosovaLive.net.
Berisha has reported to AJK that an employee of the Islamic Community of Kosovo has used hateful language towards him and encouraged others to make derogatory comments, along with posting multiple photos of Berisha in connection with the attacks on October 7 in Israel.
AJK strongly condemns any form of verbal abuse or threats directed towards journalists.
We urge the Islamic Community of Kosovo to publicly denounce the use of language that promotes religious intolerance in Kosovo.
