Lebanon: CFWIJ Is Concerned Over The Persistent Harassment Of Mariam Seif El Dine

Journalist Mariam Seif El Dine is a strong critic of Lebanon's political parties and is often targeted because of her coverage. On two different occasions, her family was physically assaulted. Mariam and her family had to flee their neighborhood after receiving threats that they would be killed otherwise. Mariam believes that supporters of a separatist organization were behind the attacks on her relatives. CFWIJ condemns the brutality that the journalist and her family have endured. We urge the Lebanese authorities to take action and apprehend the culprits.
