Tomislav Kezarovski
Tomislav Kezarovski ((マケドニア語:Томислав Kежаровски), born 1965) is a Macedonian journalist. He was jailed for allegedly revealing the identity of a protected witness in an article published in 2008 in the magazine ''Reporter 92''. He is employed at the Skopje-based daily newspaper ''Nova Makedonija''. His wife is named Marina and the couple have a daughter Stefanija. His imprisonment drew harsh reactions from international non-governmental organizations and media requesting Macedonian courts to drop charges and release him.
==Charges and imprisonment==
Kezarovski was arrested in May 2013 on the charge that he revealed the identity of a protected witness. The charge relates to an article about a 2005 murder in the village of Oreše, published in 2008 in the magazine ''Reporter 92'' in which Kezarovski quoted from an internal police report that had been leaked to him. Kezarovski's article allegedly revealed the identity of a protected witness, who later admitted to having testified against the defendants under duress. The defendants were found not guilty, and the government alleges that Kezarovski's report influenced the jury.〔("Macedonian journalist jailed for revealing name of witness" ), Transitions Online, 22 October 2013.〕
The witness had however not yet been given protection at the time the article was written and in 2013 admitted having given a false statement under pressure from the police. Kezarovski believes the real reason for his arrest was to make him reveal the identity of the person who leaked him the police report. At the time of his well-publicized arrest by special police forces, Kezarovski was also investigating the death of Nikola Mladenov, the publisher of independent Macedonian newspaper ''Fokus'', who had been killed in a mysterious car accident about two months earlier.〔("Macedonian journalist jailed for 4½ years" ), ''The Guardian'', 22 October 2013.〕
Kezarovski was sentenced in October 2013 to four and a half years in prison.〔 He pleaded not guilty and has appealed the conviction.〔("Reporter sentence to four and a half years in prison" ), ''Macedonia reporter'', 1 October 2013〕 To protest his nearly two-month imprisonment, a family member stated Kezarovski began a hunger strike in his cell in Skopje’s Shutka prison.〔("Protests continued against journalist Kezarovski who is now on hunger strike" ), ''Balkan EU'', 23 July 2013〕 Following international protests he has been transferred to house arrest. He returned home to his family on 1 November 2013 after 172 days in detention.〔("Kezarovski: Inmates Told me I Was Going Home" ), ''Independent Macedonia'', 9 November 2013〕 The Skopje Court of Appeal confirmed the sentence for Kezarovski on 16 January 2015 and reduced it to two years. Considering the jail time and house arrest he had served, he was still to serve three and a half months. On 16 January the police took him from his home by police and put back in prison.〔 Kezarovski was temporarily released on 20 January for health issues, and joined about 2,000 supporters demonstrating outside the appeals court to demand more press freedom.〔("Macedonian journalist has jail sentence suspended for one month" ), Reuters, 20 January 2015〕
