Somali Media Center(SOMEC) is condemning the brutal killing of award-winning Swedish journalist and photographer Martin Adler, who was harshly targeted while fulfilling his duties at demonstration against foreign peace keepers to be deployed in Somalia in Mogadishu on Friday 23 June 2006.

We shocked when we got the brutal news telling the death of Martin Adler and it is some think unacceptable that journalists are targeted deliberately by unpunished criminals.

The killing of Martin is crime against Human rights, the press freedom, the customary law of Somalia and the religion, and we, as Somali Journalists, extremely condemn the foolish killers those killed the innocent Martin and we request the transitional government and Islamic courts to catch the perpetrators and bring them before the justice.

Somali journalists want to get farther details about the death of Martin from the Islamic courts those are controlling the capital and the police investigation unit to collaborate so as to apprehend the perpetrators.

We share our grievance and sadness with all the journalists in the world, the Swedish Journalists and Somali journalists who shocked when their colleague Martin was purposely killed my masterminded criminals who try to escape from the law.

We tell the criminals and their mentors that there will be one time that they will be charged for all the crimes they committed.
We send our condolence to the deceased family of Martin, the Swedish Journalists Union and the Government of Sweden and we are telling you that we are sharing you the misery.

The perpetrators are living with the impunity, in 2005 the criminals killed BBC producer Kate Peyton a British citizen and Duniya Mohyadin Nur a female journalists who was working for Horn Afrik local radio station in Mogadishu .
