Macedonia: Human Rights Activist Accused of Libel · Global Voices
Filip Stojanovski

Žarko Trajanoski, a human rights expert and activist, posted a scan of EUR 50.000 libel lawsuit [MKD] against him by a TV talk show host Milenko Nedelkovski. The defendant allegedly damaged the pro-government media personality's reputation by qualifying his calls to “liquidate” “traitors” as hate speech, and considers this act another attempt to scare dissenting voices into silence.
