A new report claims that pressure faced by journalists in Rwanda has intensified, with the Association of Rwandan Journalists (ARJ) appealing to relevant authorities to intervene.
According to information published by Rwanda tribune, ARJ says journalists are increasingly working under difficult conditions and has urged institutions such as the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) and other relevant bodies to look into the matter and provide protection for media practitioners.
The report states that ARJ raised concerns over what it describes as growing challenges affecting press freedom and the safety of journalists while carrying out their duties.
However, the article does not provide detailed evidence of specific recent incidents, and it is not immediately clear which cases prompted the renewed concerns.
Efforts by journalists’ representatives, including ARJ, are part of broader ongoing discussions about media freedom and working conditions for journalists in Rwanda.
Authorities have not yet issued an official response to the claims highlighted in the report.
