The East African Press Councils (EAPC) has called for end to growing hostilities between governments and the media across the region.
EAPC warns that attacks on journalists and media houses threaten press freedom, access to information and democratic governance.
In a statement, EAPC Chairperson David Omwoyo expressed concern over what he described as increasing intimidation, profiling and harassment of journalists by state actors, saying the trend is creating fear within newsrooms and encouraging self-censorship.
