#JournalismIsNotACrime

Today, 2 November, is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed this day in two thousand and thirteen. The date commemorates the killing of two French journalists in Mali on the second of November that same year.

This year, UNESCO marks the day under the theme: Threats evolve. Impunity endures.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism is hosting a public consultation on the draft Environmental Management Act Amendment Bill and the Draft Sand and Gravel Mining Regulations.

Industry players will give input and feedback on the proposed amendments and regulations before the bill goes to Parliament for debate.

Communities affected by mining and similar activities have long raised concerns about the environmental impact assessment process. They say free, prior and informed consent should be a requirement, not a suggestion.

The researcher said this contamination was not independently verified. 📋❓
