Urgent investigation into the attack on Bozhinovski

The Association of Journalists of Macedonia and the Council for Ethics in the Media of Macedonia demand an immediate reaction from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a quick and efficient investigation in the interest of finding and sanctioning the attacker against the owner of the portal “Burevesnik” Zoran Bojinovski.
According to media reports, the attack occurred yesterday evening in Bitola, in front of his house, and two masked persons seriously injured him. The case has already been reported to the police.
We condemn every form of physical violence and emphasize that physical assault is a crime.
We appeal to the Ministry of the Interior and the Public Prosecutor’s Office to urgently investigate and prosecute such attacks to punish those who violate the law and prevent possible such crimes in the future.
