2 November is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. Ainsi en 2013, Claude Verlon, ingénieur du son à RFI et Ghislaine Dupont, sa collègue journaliste, ont été assassinés au Mali.
93% of killed journalists were local journalists
When a journalist searches for truth, death often finds them instead. In 12 years, over 1000 journalists have been killed. In war zones. But also at home. On the corner of the street. On the corner of your street. They were killed in cold blood. Deliberately. With impunity. To silence topics some people wanted to keep hidden.
2 November is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. 9 out of 10 cases are unresolved. 93% of killed journalists were local journalists. It is up to all of us, citizens, to help protect journalists, so that they may continue to inform us.
