These provisions, NUSOJ argues, have long been misused to silence journalists and restrict freedom of expression. Such an environment not only undermines media freedom but also puts the public’s right to information, which is crucial for democratic accountability and participation—at risk. This application is devoted to defending media freedom and safeguarding each Somali citizen’s right to information and freedom of speech without fear of reprisal. Funded by UNESCO’s Global Media Defence Fund (GMDF), NUSOJ’s overall strategic litigation initiative includes this legal application. Furthermore, they support the creation of a modern legal system that provides clear protections for journalistic endeavours and ensures media freedom.
