#Paraguay: CPJ joined @mediadefence and Paraguayan NGO @InstIDEA in a petition before the IACHR to seek justice on behalf of Brazilian journalist Leo Veras’ family on June 23, six years after his murder. Veras was shot at home, in front of his son and wife in February, 2020. The murder was never properly investigated by Paraguayan authorities.

@mediadefence a publié son Rapport d'Impact 2025, où il est question du fonds « Ripostes », créé avec le FPL en octobre 2025 : « Dans un contexte de pression juridique croissante sur les journalistes, nous veillons à ce que les médias indépendants en France puissent riposter ».

[Media Defence @mediadefence]

In 2025 we supported 800+ journalist - 96% of them in hostile press freedom environments. Of the journalists we surveyed 90% kept reporting after their legal case.

Legal support doesn't just protect individuals, it keeps independent journalism alive .
