Reporters Without Borders condemn threats against journalist under govt. MP post

Reporters Without Borders have condemned online death threats against journalist Zuzana Černá following comments from Jindřich Rajchl, a Czech government MP. The threats appeared under a social media post from Mr. Rajchl condemning her work.

The international press freedom group called on the MP to withdraw his original post and to condemn the attacks on Ms. Černá. The police are investigating the threats.

The Czech Syndicate of Journalists had earlier condemned the actions of Mr. Rajchl, who is an MP for the Freedom and Direct Democracy grouping.
