U.S. Embassy Condemns Theft of Transmitting Equipment

May 27, 2008

We join the other members of the international community in strongly condemning the theft of transmitting equipment from broadcasters Alsat М and ART.  The timing of this egregious crime can only be seen as an attempt to silence an important voice in the media at a critical time and to deny citizens of Macedonia information about the upcoming elections.  The authorities must act quickly and decisively to investigate this crime and prosecute thоse responsible.
