- On this one –

Wednesday 01 June 2016

It was with a mixture of indignation and sadness that the Armed Forces became aware of a false news aired in ASEMANA/ONLINE, entitled “ Antany escapes from the military jail and is at large ”, dated 01 June 2016. The Armed Forces are astonished by the irresponsibility of the ASEMANA Journal, which in an exercise of flagrant lack of professionalism and deontological ethics, releases false information about an inmate who is detained in the Military Prison Facility awaiting trial. The news shows that this newspaper no longer knows how to panic people, and for free, also contributing to jeopardize the image and good name of the Armed Forces, creating an opportunity for some citizens without the necessary decency to produce comments against the military and the Cape Verdean military institution.

In view of this, the Armed Forces are left with nothing but the right to resort to the appropriate instances so that their good name is restored, thus contributing to preventing more insanity of the type from irresponsible persons and bodies that says information professionals, when instead of informing, they produce “informational terrorism”.

Best regards.
