RFE/RL Turkmen correspondent threatened for second time in as many days
Turkmen journalist Soltan Achilova was threatened on July 31 by the same man who threatened her life two days earlier, on July 29. The man identified himself to her as a police officer tasked to watch her wherever she goes, and again warned her against taking photos, or she will be “finished.”
Achilova, 68, reports for RFE/RL’s Turkmen Service, known locally as Azatlyk Radiosy, and her work appears regularly on the Turkmen-language website.
