Press Freedom Day marred by cyber-attack on TVN

ON WORLD Press Freedom Day, Saturday May 3, Panama’s TVN channel 2 received another "cyber-attack" on its website (tvn-2.com).

The network said that the attacks have gone on continuously for five days leading up to Sunday’s election and a TVN broadcaster has been threatened via Twitter.

TVN has repeatedly asked the authorities to investigate this matter.
"We appeal to the solidarity of the Panamanian people and the authorities to speak out, as several international press associations have already done," it said.
The station also made a call to respect and value freedom of expression, since it only seeks to inform the population. It said it will continue to provide this service.
