IFJ condemns murder of Haroon Khan

Protect media workers: IFJ writes to Sharif

On the second anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar, the South East Asia Journalists Unions (SEAJU) strongly condemned the military junta’s continued gross violations of human rights, persecution of journalists and attacks on independent media. The region’s media unions called on the international community to increase pressure on Myanmar’s military to guarantee the safety of all Burmese citizens and cease the state-sanctioned violence, arbitrary arrests and draconian laws that have suppressed activists and stifled freedom of expression.

IFEX’s Regional Editor Reyhana Masters digs into three important stories from 2022 in Africa: an ACHPR Resolution that opens a door for organisations to combat online violence against women journalists, the development of strong regional partnerships for freedom of expression, and the disruption of the region's airwaves by national regulatory bodies.

"Spiralling attacks against journalists in Mexico as well as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine were leading factors behind the rise in journalist killings. Fourteen journalists were killed in Mexico in 2022, the deadliest year for the country’s media since 2017. Eight were killed covering Russia’s war in Ukraine." - IPI
