The International Association of Press Clubs was formed in 2002 to uphold the ethics of journalism and free access and distribution of information worldwide.
There are currently 327 journalists in prison, and 130 were murdered last year. Without their work, the truth remains harder to discover and power harder to control! World Press Freedom Day 2026

We condemn the Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon that killed journalist Amal Khalil and injured her colleague. They were not incidental casualties of war – they were journalists performing their duty. https://t.co/W247SIgFn1
Strong Condemnation of the Killing of Journalists in Southern Lebanon: Al-Manar TV correspondent Ali Shuaib, Al-Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Fatouni and their cameraman. Statement by @PressClubs President Waiel Awwad @abunouman#journalism#pressfreedom
Our colleague @panyiszabolcs, a journalist for @VSquare_Project (a Central European investigative outlet run by the Polish @FReporterow, part of OCCRP's global network), has come under a brutal, coordinated attack by the Hungarian government.
Following his latest investigation into Russian influence in Budapest, the government launched a smear campaign against him. The objective is clear: to undermine his findings, distract the public, and discredit a reporter who reveals compromising information about the regime. This is unfolding in the final days of an election campaign where, for the first time in over a decade, Orbán’s grip on power is under serious threat.
