CSOs FORM COALITION TO TACKLE LEGAL CASES AGAINST JOURNALISTS IN BOTSWANA

Campaign for Free Expression (CFE) in partnership with the Botswana Editorsโ€™ Forum (BEF) and the INK Centre for Investigative Journalism hosted a Media Defence Seminar recently in Gaborone with support from Media Defence London.

Journalists from various publications and stations, and independent journalists gathered to analyse the high number of ongoing legal cases against journalists and the punitive nature of the quantum of damages awarded to litigants in the judgements that have been passed on some of these cases so far. The aim is to probe the underlying causes and propose strategies to foster regional collaboration to safeguard press freedom and protect journalists in Botswana and beyond.

Emang Mutapati, Editor-in-Chief of The Voice, and Chairperson of BEF, lead an experience-sharing discussion by participants that have been legally targeted for their work. This included an examination of prominent legal cases and court decisions and their implications for press freedom. Other speakers included Joel Konopo of INK, Hanna Uihlein from Media Defence London, Outsa Mokone, the Sunday Standard Editor, Professor Anton Harber, the Head of Campaign for Free Expression spoke on how to prevent and fight SLAPP lawsuits.
