The General Secretary of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), David Agbenu, has cautioned against conflating the judgment against the Montie FM trio with an attack on the media and free speech.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Supreme Court did not go after the Montie three because they did something that is lawful. The charges were read to them, they contested the charges and they were finally jailed. We must be careful not to confuse that with a media attack,\u201d he explained on Eyewitness News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
