Posts on social networks in recent days linking the National Security Agency (ANB) to the sharing of private correspondence, video and photo content are completely false, the ANB told the RTCG Portal.
"The Agency rejects any connection with the publication of private correspondence, video and photo materials that threaten the privacy of citizens. The Agency lawfully carries out tasks within its jurisdiction and fully respects the rights guaranteed by the constitution. Private correspondence and content that are the subject of comments are not the subject of interest of the Agency and as such cannot be linked to the ANB," the institution said.
The RTCG portal states that non-governmental organizations and civic activists previously appealed to the Police Directorate, the competent State Prosecutor's Office and the Protector of Human Rights and Freedoms to react without delay and take all legally prescribed measures to protect the right to privacy of Mirjana Pajković, until recently the Director of the Directorate at the Ministry for Human and Minority Rights, who, as reported by the RTCG portal, has been exposed to serious forms of public harassment, attempts at discrediting, abuse of the right to privacy and lynching.
The non-governmental sector specifically warns of the extremely dangerous message that is sent to the public if such cases are tolerated, that women who are involved in professional disputes or who report certain forms of violence and irregularities will be exposed to public humiliation, condemnation and discredit, without any institutional protection.
The Department for Gender Equality Affairs, as an institutional mechanism within the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, as they announced last night, is following with particular concern public reactions and content on social networks regarding the case, which indicates forms of gender-based violence, including sexual harassment, blackmail, unauthorized filming, as well as the publication and dissemination of intimate content without consent. This, they say, is spreading violence to modern forms - digital violence.
