85% Of Journalist Killings Go Unpunished

According to UNESCO and the Committee to Protect Journalists, over 85% of journalist killings worldwide go unpunished. The message is clear: truth-telling carries little protection and high risk. Threats, arrests, lawsuits, surveillance, and violence are not random reactions. They are deliberate tools used to intimidate, exhaust, and silence scrutiny. When journalists are silenced, corruption expands. Press freedom is not separate from anti-corruption work - it's one of its strongest defenses. #PressFreedom #Journalism #Integrity #AntiCorruption #Accountability #AllardPrize
