🇫🇮 Press freedom is a cornerstone of democracy, & any attempt to intimidate journalists is an assault on the fundamental values. The targeting of #IdaErämaa by Finnish MPs is an alarming attack on free speech & journalism's role in holding power accountable. Solidarity with Ida.

Following the release of Evan Gershkovich and Alsu Kurnmasheva, we demand freedom for Ukrainian journalists, including Maksym Butkevych, Serhii Tsyhipa, and Iryna Danylovych, who are illegally held in temporarily occupied territories and Crimea. Journalism is not a crime.

🇹🇷 Disturbing escalation in death threats against Turkish journalist @muratagirel. His courage in exposing corruption has put him & his family at risk. Together with partners, we call on authorities to hold those responsible for the threats accountable.

Today, on International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, we stand with reporters worldwide. We remember the journalists who have sacrificed their lives for the truth. Journalism is not a crime, and violence against media workers should not go unpunished.
