Journalism is not a crime

[EFJ @efjeurope]

#Serbia: On 27 August, journalist Andrey Gniot will be heard by the Serbian Court of Appeal, which will rule on his extradition to #Belarus to face criminal charges.

It is his last chance to be set free, avoid prison sentence & torture in Belarus.

#JournalismIsNotACrime

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

I welcome the release of political prisoners from Russian prisons today. Now, it's time to focus all our efforts on freeing the political prisoners in #Belarus. Many are held in inhumane conditions, deprived of urgently needed medical help & contact with the outside world.

[Matthew Caruana Galizia @mcaruanagalizia]

Another two journalists assassinated by Israel in a direct attack on their car, as they were reporting inside a refugee camp. The hypocrisy of Western political discourse regarding human rights and the protection of journalists is astounding.

@RobertAbela_MT @MaltaGov What a blatant lie. @MaltaGov did not actively contribute to shaping the directive. It was Maltese civil society, academics and lawyers who where at the forefront of a European-wide civil society network - @CASECoalition

[Francesca De Benedetti @FrancesDiBi]

Here we go again. #Meloni attacks newspapers as if they were enemies, and at the same time, far-right outlets publish my name and that of other colleagues pointing at us as "anti-Meloni journalists". Paradoxically, the aim is to state that there's no #mediafreedom problem. Thread

[Ricardo Gutiérrez @Molenews1]

#Italia: la propaganda di Stato inventa il concetto di “giornalisti anti-Meloni” per descrivere i giornalisti che difendono la libertà di accesso all'informazione dei cittadini.

Newly elected Presidents @vonderleyen and @RobertaMetsola mentioned in their election speeches the need to protect journalists & media freedom, which we liked.

So we got in touch to explain how to achieve it 👇

[EFJ @efjeurope]

Following @vonderleyen's re-election as Commission President, we sent a letter to express our demands regarding press freedom & journalists' safety.

Among them:
- Reinforce DG Connect to lead on media
- Make EU Media law a reality
- Advance the safety of journalists

#Italy: We sent a letter to the @EU_Commission's VP @VeraJourova to draw attention to the multiple press freedom violations that recently occurred under @GiorgiaMeloni's government.

The @EU_Commission must address those issues immediatly & ensure media freedom in Italy.

Shameful that @RobertAbela_MT is so anti-democratic to attack journalists. @EFJEUROPE calls on Maltese politicians to respect journalists and the right of Maltese citizens to access information.

Nothing to celebrate @MediaEu! Barely three EU Member States have adopted a national action plan for the safety of journalists. The report exposes the lack of action by EU Member States!

#LaborDay: The working conditions of journalists are seriously impacted by misinformation and digital media transformation. On this special day, we call on employers, decision-makers, and the public to stand up for journalism.
