Press Review [Archives:1999/12/Press Review]

Al-Wahdawi,
Sanaa Weekly, Mouthpiece of the Nasserite Unionist Party,
16/03/1999.   A: Front-Page Headlines:
1. Humiliating Failure for Journalists Syndicate.
2. Oratory Ceremony on the 1st Anniversary of the Passing Away of Ahmed Tarboush.
3. Opposition Parties Sign a Joint Statement on Syndicates and Unions.
B: Issue’s Editorial:
The authorities proceeded yesterday in their war to control the civil society organizations. They financed, organized and controlled the 2nd Conference of the Journalists’ Syndicate.
It is unfortunate that some journalists have found it in their interest to go along with the authorities in this undemocratic move. But the real journalists have stayed away.
