ZAGREB, March 28 (Hina) - The Croatian Journalists' Society (HND)
on Thursday issued a statement in protest against the taking of a
female journalist of the Zagreb-based "Nacional" weekly to a
police station for questioning.
The statement, signed by HND president Jagoda Vukusic,
described the incident as scandalous.
The HND quoted Interior Minister Ivan Jarnjak as saying during
question time in Parliament that the police had been informed
that the journalist was going to publish "certain documents of
the Interior Ministry which are classified as secret."
With his answer Jarnjak "helped us to realize what kind of
police practice the law makers had in mind when they tabled an
amendment to the Criminal Act, under which a journalist shares
responsibility for the publishing of a state secret," the
statement said, adding that the term state secret was not legally
defined and regulated.
"If the information is accurate and true then the journalists
are obliged to present it to the public," it added.
The HND rejected as unacceptable Jarnjak's statement that a
report on wiretapping in the March 20 edition of "Nacional" had
been published with the intention of alarming the public.
