On Wednesday, police forces in the Dayniile district of Mogadishu arrested two female journalists named Amiira Salaabeen, a reporter with Kaab TV, and Iqro Abdullaahi, who works with FIVE TV.
“There is no legal basis that permits the detention of journalists for carrying out their professional duties. The continued detention of these two women is unlawful. They must be released immediately and unconditionally,” said SRS spokesperson Hanad Ali Guled.
