Independent newspaper reporters threatened after publishing corruption investigations

Ziarul de Garda, an independent newspaper known for its investigative reporting, released a press statement today, saying that its employees have received numerous threats after publishing a series of articles on alleged corruption at the Moldovan Railway Company.

One of the threats, according to Ziarul de Garda representatives, said something along the lines of "I'd be afraid to walk around without a gun."

It is unclear who has been making these threats, but the journalists have asked authorities to protect them and to investigate the corruption charges.
