Dear Editor
I’VE noted APNU+AFC denying that they harassed NCN’s cameramen who were doing their jobs by covering the party’s recent meeting in Mocha. I also saw APNU+AFC admitting that they asked the cameramen where they were working.

I believe that is intimidation since it was a public meeting on the street. I also noticed that the NCN statement said that the cameramen were attacked by APNU+AFC Member of Parliament, Nima Flue-Bess, who was asking who the cameramen were and where they are working.

As a resident of Mocha, I know that Miss Flue-Bess lives in the same street in Mocha along with one of the cameramen. She knows that he works at NCN and she knows his family. So, for Miss Flue-Bess and APNU+AFC to say they don’t know the cameraman or where he is working is totally wrong and dishonest.

The way I see it is that APNU+AFC just wanted to stop NCN from filming the meeting. Why would they stop NCN and then say they don’t get coverage?

In this modern time, APNU+AFC must know that people get the news right away on things that are happening. That is important and APNU+AFC must also know that media people must be free to do their jobs. The way Miss Flue-Bess acted in Mocha that day is not how a Member of Parliament must behave.

What she and APNU+AFC did must be condemned by everybody.

Sincerely,
Ryan Newton
