"The High Representative welcomes the successful conclusion of a legal process which led to the release of journalist Abdiaziz Abdnur Ibrahim by order of the Somali Supreme Court.
The EU attaches great importance to the re-establishment of an environment where the freedom of expression and protection of journalists in Somalia is recognised as a fundamental human right and as a cornerstone of a free and democratic society.
