This World Press Freedom Day, activists onboard the Arctic Sunrise, supporting the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza, sent one clear message: STOP KILLING JOURNALISTS!
In Gaza, journalists have continued to report through bombardment, hunger, mass displacement and devastating loss, while foreign media has been largely blocked from entering independently.
What’s happening in Gaza is a warning about what happens when truth is attacked at the source. When journalists are killed, silenced or blocked from reporting truth is buried and power goes unchecked and it facilitates impunity.
Press freedom is the difference between truth being exposed and power getting away with it!
Share this post to stand with journalists in Gaza and everywhere risking their lives to tell us the truth.
