MIC harasses Jena

ions are widely viewed as designed to refuse Jena accreditation for the year 2007 as ‘punishment’.
In a story published in the government-controlled Sunday Mail last year, the MIC accused the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists (ZUJ) of peddling anti-government propaganda to “entice” foreign donor agencies to fund its activities. Jena, the chairman of ZUJ Chinhoyi branch, was singled out as one of those spreading “malicious reports” about alleged human rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
The MIC has demanded that Jena furnishes it with documentation of his journalistic activities, local and foreign buyers of his stories, print-outs of the accounts into which he deposited his earnings from journalistic activities. – Own correspondent
