Int’l Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists today

The day (November 2) marks the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.

Be it peace or war, in any case, it is the mission of journalists to convey the facts to the people. Every year, many journalists are killed for doing this duty around the world.

Pakistan is still in the list of most vulnerable countries for journalism.

In 15 years, the accused involved in 96 percent of the murders of journalists did not receive any punishment.

The bill for the protection of journalists was approved but could not be implemented.

The theme of the day for year 2023 also seeks to make the role of a safe and free press visible to ensure the integrity of elections and our democratic systems.
