SHILLONG: The Shillong Press Club (SPC), on the eve of World Press Freedom Day, which is celebrated on May 3, has condemned the repeated attacks and concerted attempts to muzzle freedom of speech in various parts of the country on Thursday.
SPC also extended its best wishes to all members and fellow journalists of the state, region, nation and the world. It hopes that freedom of speech and expression will return to where it was so that aspirations and desires of all people are achieved through positive and fearless journalism which will always remain the hallmark of the fourth pillar of democracy.
This year’s theme is ‘Media for Democracy: Journalism and Elections in Times of Disinformation’ and SPC has expressed its solidarity with all colleagues from the region, the country and the world as a whole who have been victims to suppression of free speech.
