Al Jazeera Center for Public Liberties & Human Rights is organizing a seminar at Geneva Press Club. The Seminar will discuss “Challenges Facing Freedom of Media and Protection of Journalists in the Middle East”.
This seminar will be focusing on the distortion of Media Houses, in light of the growing governmental censorships and calls to silence free and independent media institutions. It will also focus on fighting hate speech, arbitrary detention and unjust verdict.
