“When journalists are silenced, we all lose our voice.”
On Sunday’s International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists,
#UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres calls for the protection of media professionals worldwide so they can carry out their essential work safely.
He warned of the growing dangers they face in their pursuit of truth —including verbal abuse, legal threats, physical attacks, imprisonment, torture and even death.
“Let us stand together to defend press freedom, demand accountability, and ensure those who speak truth to power can do so without fear.”
