The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) joins the 10 co-signatories of this appeal in condemning the escalation of brutal repression against journalists and civil society in Albania. We, the undersigned organisations, express serious concern about the deterioration of media freedom, civic space and democratic debate in Albania during the ongoing civic mobilisation known as the Flamingo Revolution. These concerns draw on sustained documentation and repeated public warnings by Albanian journalists’ organisations, independent media, civil society groups and human rights defenders. We will continue to monitor developments and support journalists, media workers and civic actors facing threats, intimidation or interference.
