Attack on media in Chennai


Let's condemn the attack on the media in Tamil Nadu, India. The attack on The Hindu and Murusoli should be taken up as a challenge by the journalism community. The need is to launch a campaign against the very concepts of legislative privelege, defamation and contempt of court. The Hindu and many other publications have been subjected to frivolous defamation cases since the Jayalalithaa government assumed office. They have borne the attack stoically and have continued to stay the course – a tribute to Indian journalism. IOJ has provided a link here to The Hindu's editorial - a resolve to battle it out. Please join us in expressing outrage at the abominable attack.

Express your outrage
