We regret the decision made by Ethiopia to revoke press credentials of Simon Marks, a seasoned journalist working for the New York Times.

This is deeply disturbing.

We do not accept this tendency of intimidating journalists into fear and silence.

If you have a glaring problem with the media, make it public.

Revoking media access will not intimidate anyone. This is not an isolated case. The world is watching you as you harass the press.
