The media office of the Kataeb Party strongly condemned “in the strongest terms the attacks and unacceptable threats directed at MTV and its staff, which constitute a blatant violation of media freedom and an unacceptable attempt to intimidate journalists and prevent them from carrying out their mission.”
In a statement, it noted that “targeting media institutions and their employees directly undermines freedom of expression, the protection of which is a fundamental pillar of Lebanon’s democratic system, and once again highlights the danger of intimidation tactics and attempts to silence free voices.”
It also expressed its “full solidarity with the channel’s management, journalists, and staff,” calling on the relevant authorities “to take the necessary measures to protect media professionals and hold the perpetrators accountable, in order to prevent such attacks from recurring and to safeguard freedom of journalistic work.”
