As President Trump prepares to dine with the same journalists he attacks daily at tonight's White House Correspondentsâ dinner, we continue to advocate for members of the press who have been targeted by the Trump administration, including Georgia Fort. Fort was arrested for covering a protest against ICE actions in Minnesota. She and other journalists were subsequently charged with federal criminal charges, including a hate crime. This attempt to criminalize Fort for fulfilling her professional duties sends a chilling message. It is a brazen attempt to discredit Fort, stifle scrutiny and erode press freedom. As tonightâs event marks a celebration of free press, we urge the Department of Justice to drop Georgia Fort's charges and respect freedom of the press.

HRF condemns the parliament of Senegalâs unanimous approval of draconian legislation that doubles the maximum prison sentence for those convicted of same-sex relations, for a total of up to 10 years. This marks an alarming escalation in the criminalization of LGBTQ+ individuals and rights advocacy, while Senegalese officials have failed to enact reforms of other repressive laws used to stifle dissent.
The World Liberty Congress stands firmly against the intimidation of journalist @HarianaVeras and affirms the essential role of a free press in defending democracy and human rights. Journalistic independence must be protected everywhere. đ°â #DRC#Rwanda#RDC

After silencing independent journalism at home â through imprisonment, enforced disappearances, exile, and the killing of John Williams Ntwali on January 18, 2023 â the Kigali regime, also a champion of transnational repression, appears to be once again extending its intimidation beyond its borders.
Targeting @HarianaVeras , a White Houseâaccredited Angolan journalist for covering the devastating war in eastern DRC is deeply alarming.
As a Rwandan living in exile, I stand in full solidarity with journalists who continue to report the truth despite pressure, intimidation, and attempts to silence them. Press freedom must be protected everywhere.
A government with such a track record of repression cannot credibly claim the authority to dictate how journalists should do their work.
