Namibia: NMT Condemns Spy Chief's Attempt to Silence Media

THE Namibia Media Trust yesterday condemned an attempt by the Namibia Central Intelligence Service (NCIS) to silence and censor local media.

This follows an urgent application brought before the Windhoek High Court on Thursday by NCIS director general Philemon Malima against the Patriot newspaper and it's editor Mathias Haufiku, in a bid to stop the weekly from publishing a news report about former members of the spy service as well as the purchase of certain properties.
