#WPFD26 @NakiyimbaGloria reflects on the realities journalists face while at work. Some have lost their lives, targeted for exposing the truth others caught in conflict & violence. Stop targeting the messengers. Journalists report what is happening

[IAWRTuganda @iawrt_ug]

Protecting the media is everyone’s responsibility, especially during conflict.
Targeting journalists is silencing truth & the voices communities rely on. Journalists are not the enemy; they are vital defenders of peace, justice, and informed societies.

#Uganda: The Constitutional Court strikes down criminal defamation and the 2022 cybercrime law, ending jail threats for journalists. A win for press freedom, and lawyers promise: “We will challenge it again” if similar laws return.

Journalists rely on digital tools, but when devices & applications are not updated regularly, they become easy cyberattack targets.
Software updates are not just about new features but contain important security fixes that protect your devices & information.
