Above all, Laurence was a man of integrity, evident in the respect he earned across the political spectrum, the trust of his readers, and the many journalists who followed in his footsteps. He will be missed.

PEN Malta is saddened by the passing of Laurence Grech, a towering figure in Maltese journalism whose integrity and principled voice helped shape public discourse for decades. Laurence’s dedication to truth, fairness and the highest standards of journalism has been lauded by all.

The crisis in Venezuela can only be resolved through dialogue led by Venezuelans themselves, with the support of multilateral institutions acting to prevent escalation, protect civilians, uphold fundamental rights.
Peace, justice, and freedom of expression must remain inseparable

[PEN Malta @MaltaPen]

PEN Malta expresses deep concern over the deteriorating situation in Venezuela and the grave risks faced by writers, journalists, and all those imprisoned for exercising their right to free expression.

[PEN Malta @MaltaPen]

We reaffirm our commitment to non-violence, the defence of free expression, respect for international law, and the pursuit of peaceful solutions to political conflicts.
