"The Union of Professional Journalists in the State of Amazonas (SINJOR/AM) has intensified its monitoring and protection efforts for the profession in the first two months of 2026. On Monday (March 2), at a meeting of the Commission on Violence against Journalists, composed of journalists Isac Sharlon, Henderson Martins, and Alessandra Aline, the entity formalized a new Protocol for Confrontation, designed to standardize the channels of contact and reception of journalists who are victims of aggression in the exercise of their profession.
The document comes at a critical moment: in just the first 60 days of the year, the state of Amazonas has recorded a succession of serious cases, ranging from physical assault at police stations to attempts at suffocation and intimidation by police authorities. The goal is to report cases to security authorities, companies, the Public Defender's Office, and society in general, creating a network to monitor and defend professionals, given that in 2025, nine cases were reported between January and November."
