Gwen Lister co-chaired a 1991 journalism seminar in Windhoek, Namibia, whose participants produced an influential text calling for a free, independent and pluralistic press. The Windhoek Declaration led to World Press Freedom Day.
Thirty years ago, dozens of African journalists gathered at a conference in the then-new nation of Namibia to strategize how to better serve the public and minimize risks of their jobs.
“In Africa today … in many countries journalists, editors and publishers are victims of repression – they are murdered, arrested, detained and censored …” the journalists wrote in a document that denounced government controls and economic and political pressures.

In an online video of his sermons that went viral, a Muslim preacher called for journalists to be “slaughtered” in Bangladesh, where conservative ideology keeps shrinking the space for freedom of speech, a global media group said in a report this week.
The preacher and madrassa teacher, Wasik Billah Nomani, delivered the sermon in the presence of thousands of people, “repeatedly vowing to ‘slaughter’ journalists after establishing the caliphate,” the International Federation of Journalists said in its South Asia Press Freedom Report 2020-21.
The preacher, a prominent activist with the hardline Hefazat-e-Islam group, was arrested in the city of Mymensingh on April 11 for allegedly making provocative statements in his sermons, but social media is “overflowing” with Islamic lectures replete with “hate speech,” IFJ reported.
