🔴#EndImpunity: Who orders the killing of a journalist and who gets away with it? According to @UNESCO, nearly 6 out of 7 journalist killings remain unresolved. Justice for journalist killings is denied when the criminal masterminds walk free.

[NUJP @nujp]

READ: We believe accepting sponsored trips from those accused of committing genocide is downright unethical. There ought to be no moral dilemma in rejecting offers from Israel. Our guide should be simple: Whose interests are you serving?

#Philippines🇵🇭: Vice President Sara Duterte called out the country's media and praised social media as a platform for truth. We stand with our affiliate, the @nujp, in rejecting attacks on independent media that are intended to delegitimise it.

The charges against Baskog Radio are clearly meant to intimidate the broadcasters, exhaust their energy and resources, isolate them from their community, and distract them from their work as media practitioners.

If only Sara paid more attention to standards of governance and leadership instead of scapegoating the media, she would have avoided the predicament she is now facing before the Senate impeachment court.

What do Saudi journalist Turki al-Jasser, Philippine journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio and Chinese journalist Zhang Zhan have in common? All were prosecuted in the name of “national security” between 2020 and 2026.
