🖌️Today is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.
🔍Speaking last week, Ambassador Anna Merrifield stressed that the global situation for media freedom and the safety of journalists is exceptionally grim. Journalists and media workers continue to face threats, attacks and violence, both online and offline, while most crimes against them go unpunished.
⚠️Women journalists are disproportionately targeted. They must be able to carry out their work safely, both online and offline.
🌍Finland is currently co-chairing the Media Freedom Coalition. Through the Coalition, we are working with partners to promote media freedom, improve journalists’ safety and strengthen accountability for attacks against them.
✊Journalism is not a crime. Every attack against a journalist must be investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable.
