ICELANDIC JOURNALISTS BULLIED OVER FISHROT- MEDIA UNION

The newly formed Namibia Media Professionals Union of Namibia (NAMPU) has said that it has been alerted to incidents of bullying happening to Icelandic journalists reporting on the Fish-rot scandal in Iceland.
“The Icelandic company at the centre of the corruption allegations, Samherji, has used various tactics to intimidate reporters including spreading disinformation, launching attack videos, and instances of
direct harassment, in a bid to silence claims about the company’s alleged corrupt activities in Namibia.
“NAMPU condemns Samherji’s actions in this regard and urges the company to immediately stop the harassment of journalists working on the Fishrot story. The company, while having the right to respond to the claims against it, should not seek to suppress
public scrutiny of its role in the Fishrot scandal,” said the union General Secretary, Sakeus Ikela.
