Mešalić calls on competent police agencies to protect journalist Avdo Avdić

(Patria) - The threats of liquidation against Istraga.ba journalist Avdo Avdić are serious and come from dangerous people, and this has been documented through intelligence and police reports, wrote tonight on his Facebook profile the head of the DF Club of Representatives in the Federal Parliament, Mahir Mešalić.

"Institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina at all levels are obliged to protect all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. An attack or threats against a journalist like Avdić are threats to the freedom of all of us.

Today we had coffee and discussed this situation. Avdo is behaving the same, ready to continue his work professionally.

I love brave people, and Avdo is undoubtedly one of the bravest people I have met in my life.

Without wanting to politicize, from time to time information appears that some unimportant minister or politician is seeking increased police protection when citizens express louder criticism on the street. And that protection is immediately provided to them.

Therefore, I call on all competent law enforcement agencies to protect journalist Avdo Avdić because an attack on journalists and truth is an attack on the state. Full support," Mešalić stated, along with a selfie posing with journalist Avdo Avdić.
