Today is International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. We’ll get there, Daphne. #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #EndImpunity

❗ Nearly half of Malta’s homicide cases from 2010–2020 remain pending, some for >13 years. ⚠️ In 7 cases, the accused: – absconded – passed away – or was deemed unfit to stand trial. 📄 Our report: tinyurl.com/5bnrhhht #JusticeAtRisk #Malta #JusticeDelayed #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights

⏳ In Malta, trial-by-jury cases take 3+ years to start after indictment — even for guilty pleas. Our Justice at Risk report calls for action: ⚖️ More court staff ⚙️ Faster procedures 💻 Smarter tech use 📄 www.daphne.foundation/documents/re... #JusticeDelayed

❓ Malta averages 6 wilful homicides a year, but only 1.5 cases are concluded annually in court. The backlog keeps growing, delaying justice. ⚖️ Our latest report calls for more court staff, streamlined processes, and better tech use. 📘 Read the full report: tinyurl.com/474aachw #RuleOfLaw #Malta

⚖️ Our new report exposes serious delays in Malta’s justice system. 🧾 46% of wilful homicide cases (2010–2020) still pending ⏳ Avg. 3 years from indictment to trial 📉 Only 1.5 cases concluded per year 📘 Read more: www.daphne.foundation/documents/re... #JusticeDelayed #Malta #RuleOfLaw

⚫ 8 years since Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated for her journalism. Her fight for truth lives on, but so does the threat of SLAPPs, used to silence reporters across Europe. We continue to work with the @daphne.foundation to #StopSLAPPs and protect press freedom. #JusticeForDaphne

Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated 8 years ago today. Malta must confront its failure: ensure her killers face full justice, & reform the broken systems that enabled her murder. Nothing can bring her back, but Malta must change to honour her life and legacy.

Some 17 press freedom and journalists' organisations are calling on Malta to set up a national action plan on media freedom and journalist safety on the eye of the eighth anniversary of the killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia cpj.org/2025/10/call...

#Malta: In memory of Daphne Caruana Galizia, press freedom and journalists’ groups call on authorities to adopt a National Action Plan on Media Freedom and Journalist Safety. Read more ⬇️ www.pen-international.org/news/malta-i...

📢 We joined @pressfreedom.bsky.social + 15 orgs urging 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇨🇿 to: 🛑 support suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement 🚑 demand urgent aid access for journalists in Gaza 🚫 end the blockade on foreign press ⚖️ push for independent investigations into journalist deaths. #Gaza #EU #PressFreedom

How dare he? #Shameful #JusticeForDaphne #Malta

“George Degiorgio’s 40-year sentence is already less than the life sentence he deserves” Thank you @globalfreemedia.bsky.social

Malta has partially adopted European anti-SLAPP rules. Its law protects only cross-border cases, leaving most domestic SLAPPs unprotected. The European Anti-SLAPP Monitor, launched today, tracks this progress across Europe. #SLAPPs #DaphnesLaw

daphne.foundation It’s a mundane Tuesday for many, but it’s Daphne’s birthday - a reminder to continue fighting for justice and pushing for change, today and every day. 📸 Pippa Zammit Cutajar #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #TruthandJustice

"Collaboration Is Our Greatest Advantage" With 2024 the deadliest year on record for journalists, the @daphne.foundation's mission to end the impunity for the murder of journalists is more critical than ever. New "Meet Our Members" portrait here 👇 www.liberties.eu/en/stories/m...

1️⃣ Five Al Jazeera staff were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Israel claims one was linked to Hamas but has shown no supporting evidence. Since Oct 7 ‘23, 186 journalists were killed - 178 were Palestinians killed by Israel. 20 were deliberately targeted, says @pressfreedom.bsky.social

The #EMFA has entered into force — a historic win for #MediaFreedom in the EU. Now comes the real test: recognising media not just as economic players, but as essential pillars of democracy. Regulators in #Malta and across the #EU must protect public interest media accordingly.

A jornalista Daphne Caruana Galizia denunciou atividades ilegais da máfia na República de Malta. Em 2017, quando analisava informações confidenciais dos chamados Panamá Papers, ela foi assassinada com uma bomba, instalada sob o assento de seu carro. Por Maria Dominguez Leia: piaui.co/4f8y7Ru

In 2021, the inquiry into Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder found the Maltese State responsible. 4 years on, most reforms still haven’t happened. Journalists remain at risk. Words aren’t enough. We need action. Ask your MP to act. Share this post. Portrait: Pippa Zammit Cutajar

The perpetrators of the attempted bomb attack on Yannis Pretenteris must be swiftly identified and brought to justice. Journalism should not be a death sentence.

#DaphnesLaw was passed to protect journalists, activists, & public watchdogs vs abusive lawsuits. But EU govts haven't delivered. One year on, Malta's version of Daphne's Law still doesn't cover domestic SLAPPs & would not have protected Daphne herself. #HandsOffOurSpeech #StopSLAPPs #TimeToResist

Is Malta really proactive on human rights? As key justice reforms stall, government ministers have lauded Malta’s “proactive” stance on applying ECtHR judgements. The EU flagged these issues, but authorities are yet to take action www.amphora.media/2025/06/fatt... Project is supported by #EMIFund

Ever heard of people who are unfairly prioritised on public health waiting lists? The reason might not always be a medical priority, but, rather, their vote. Political parties, a leaked database & 300,000 people whose voting preferences got exposed. www.daphne.foundation/en/2020/10/1...

1️⃣ "Muscat had held the bomb, & the others said, “This one is stronger than Bone’s”." The lead homicide investigator is testifying in the trial of Jamie Vella & Robert Agius. Romeo Bone survived a car bomb. The military-grade bomb placed in Daphne's car was reinforced to ensure she was killed.

Jamie Vella & Robert ‘Maksar’ Agius face multiple charges, including supplying the military grade bomb that was used to kill #DaphneCaruanaGalizia. The alleged mastermind is out on bail. Live court report ⬇️ www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/court_a...

Congratulations @bostonglobe.com & @occrp.org , Pulitzer Prize Finalists for “sweeping coverage of the financial mismanagement of a major hospital chain, exposing how corporate malfeasance, personal greed and government neglect led to compromised care and deaths.”

1️⃣ FBI experts are testifying today in the murder trial of Jamie Vella & Robert Agius. They're accused of supplying the bomb that killed Daphne. Photo (Jon Borg): Daphne reporting on the Panama Papers protests in Valletta in 2016. #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #Malta #justiceforDaphne

1️⃣ The bomb that killed Daphne was made up of 300-400g of military grade explosive in a metal sheet, designed to kill both Daphne & any car passengers & would have killed or severely injured anyone standing close by. Her death wasn't a tragedy. It was a cold, calculated crime.

1️⃣ Keith Schembri was OPM Chief of Staff when Daphne was assassinated on 16 October 2017. Within a week of her murder, he began leaking information from the investigations to the alleged mastermind, who relayed it downwards through the murder’s chain of command.

1️⃣ It's Saturday, but we're in court all day today. Robert Agius & Jamie Vella are accused of complicity in Daphne's assassination & supplying the bomb used to kill her. Convicted hitman & state witness Vincent Muscat has just said that the bomb was planted in Daphne's car to "maximise damage"

“Malta's golden passport system is illegal; the Court of Justice of the European Union has confirmed this and ruled in favor of Parliament.” #PassportPapers #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #EULaw

The trial of Jamie Vella & Robert Agius continues today. They are accused of complicity in #DaphneCaruanaGalizia’s assassination and supplying the bomb that was used to kill her. The alleged mastermind is out on bail. Live report from court in #Malta: www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/court_a...
