The Gvt of #Philippines should closely examine the recent report of #CPJ, #FPU and #RSF on the murder of radio journalist #GerryOrtega. Prompt action from the Gvt is essential to demonstrate its professed commitment to end impunity for crimes against #journalists.

In 2015, Kenya’s High Court acquitted two people suspected of killing Nyaruri.
The court castigated the police for a “poorly investigated” case, saying they had failed to follow obvious leads.
Today, CPJ remembers Nyaruri and calls on Kenyan authorities to finally deliver justice to his family.
Read more about Nyaruri’s case:

#Kenya: On this day 15 YEARS AGO, the body of Weekly Citizen reporter Francis Nyaruri was found decapitated in Kodera Forest in present-day Homa Bay County.
Nyaruri had gone missing two weeks earlier from his home in Nyamira County. He was murdered after investigating alleged corruption in a police housing project.

Alternative justice mechanisms such as @SaferTruth's People’s Tribunal for the Murder of Journalists are holding States accountable for violations of international law, empowering victims and recording their stories. 🧑⚖️ #IDEI ptmurderofjournalists.org/wh…

(7/14) Saudi journalist and @washingtonpost columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered on Oct 2, 2018, inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
International investigations found the murder was orchestrated by high-level Saudi officials - who have not faced justice.

(13/14) These are 11 cases of many.
In the 10 years since the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists was launched, 955 journalists and media workers have been killed, according to @UNESCO.
In the vast majority of cases, the killers have not faced justice.
A Safer World For The Truth retweeted
(14/14) States must live up to their commitments to #ProtectJournalists.
All those responsible for the killings of journalists must be brought to justice, including the masterminds of such attacks.
It's time to #EndImpunity for attacks on journalists everywhere.

Folktribunalen i Haag har sagt sitt om tre utvalda journalistmord, bland annat det på Lasantha Wickrematunge i Colombo den 8 januari 2009. Andra måste agera för rättvisa.

Thank you @EP_President & @Europarl_EN for commemorating Daphne Caruana Galizia and for working to end impunity and to support the rule of law.
Investigative journalist #DaphneCaruanaGalizia believed in democracy, truth & rule of law.
5 years from her assassination, @Europarl_EN remembers her & what she stood for.
Those responsible for her murder, those who let it happen & who tried to cover it up, must face justice.
