UNESCO Director General States The Obvious

I found this report to be such an obvious response from the UNESCO Director General. I do wonder what other comment she could have made. I suppose it is part of the job to state the obvious and right thing to say. I do also wonder whether the freedom of speech is nigh with her or whether someone had written the script for her.

UNESCO Director General States The Obvious
UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova on Friday (January 8th) urged Bulgarian authorities to find the killers of a controversial radio host murdered on Tuesday. Bobi Tsankov, who had recently written books about the mafia and was the subject of several embezzlement lawsuits, was gunned down around noon Tuesday in broad daylight in busy downtown Sofia. "It seems clear that he was targeted because he was revealing information about criminal activities. Such a brazen attack jeopardises freedom of expression and freedom of the press, rights that are basic and essential to ensure a democratic society," Bokova said.
