Teresa Ribeiro will meet with representatives of the authorities and civil society of Tajikistan.
Photo: InternetThe OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media (OSCE RFoM) Teresa Ribeiro will visit Tajikistan on an official visit from October 3 to 7, 2022. This was reported on the organization’s website.
It is reported that during her visit she will meet with high-level government officials, as well as representatives of civil society and media organizations in the country.
The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Teresa Ribeiro intends to visit Tajikistan against the backdrop of reports that the official delegation of Tajikistan was absent for unknown reasons at the OSCE Human Dimension Conference in Warsaw.
Representatives of civil society and media organizations in Tajikistan, who have received grants from European organizations for many years, usually participated in the annual OSCE conferences dedicated to human rights and freedom of speech and the press. However, this year at the OSCE Human Dimension Conference in Warsaw, Tajikistan was represented only by representatives of opposition groups abroad.
On September 30, the OSCE Human Dimension Conference discussed issues related to freedom of speech and the press. Azda TV, in cooperation with the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, also held a special meeting on the topic “Response to Press Suppression in Tajikistan” with the participation of OSCE representatives.
