On 5 August 2025, Two SMS TV journalists, Hussein Isse Mohamed and Osman Abdullahi Arab, were detained by federal security forces without clear reasons or legal process. SONSA strongly condemns this action, emphasizing that it violates Article 18 of the Somali Provisional Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and media rights. SONSA urges the government to uphold constitutional protections and immediately release the journalists, highlighting the crucial role of independent media in Somalia’s democracy.
