In a joint statement we voice our concern & recommendations for the state of #pressfreedom in #Honduras.

Gisteren was het de Internationale Dag tegen Straffeloosheid van Misdaden tegen Journalisten. Ons onderzoeksteam onderzoekt sinds 2021 onopgeloste zaken van vermoorde #journalisten van over de hele wereld: van de Filippijnen, Mexico, Brazilië tot in Pakistan. 1/2

🚨 Today is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. Every week a #journalist is killed simply for doing their job. In nearly 80% of these cases, the perpetrators go unpunished. 1/2

📢 Final call! The nominations for the #FreePressAwards are open until 2 November. We will once again honour a Most Resilient Journalist and Newcomer of the Year with a Free Press Award 🏆 Do you know a #journalist who deserves to be awarded? Don't hesitate and nominate them! ➡️ ow.ly/Fsf050X8otf

🚨 Vandaag gaan we massaal naar de stembus. De Politieke #Persvrijheidmeter maakt zichtbaar dat de persvrijheid in #Nederland kwetsbaar is. Het is zorgwekkend dat een aantal politieke partijen voorstellen doen die #persvrijheid actief onder druk zetten.

De VVD heeft in het verkiezingsprogramma voorstellen om persvrijheid te beschermen, maar stemde in de praktijk vaak tegen. Bij DENK was het juist andersom.

Hoe scoren de politieke partijen op het onderwerp #persvrijheid? De Politieke Persvrijheidmeter beoordeelt op 4 dimensies van persvrijheid: 1. Online informatiesamenleving & desinformatie 2. Pluriform medialandschap 3. Veiligheid van journalisten 4. Internationale inzet voor persvrijheid [1/2]

… and Jos Bartman, Interim Head of Policy & Advocacy and Research Coordinator at @freepressunlimited.org: 🗞️ Autocratisation is here to stay. Independent media can play a huge role: the 2024 Novi Sad corruption scandal in Serbia was uncovered by investigative journalism, among other examples.

‼️Free Press Unlimited publiceert vandaag de #PolitiekePersvrijheidmeter2025. De uitkomsten zijn duidelijk: sommige partijen beschermen #persvrijheid actief, anderen kiezen juist voor inperkend beleid - dat is reden tot zorg. ➡️ Bekijk de politieke persvrijheidmeter: ow.ly/1ZZS50XceVn #verkiezingen

🕯️ In memory of those who told the truth at the highest cost. For more than two years, #journalists in #Gaza have risked their lives to bring us the truth about Israel’s genocide. Never before have so many journalists been killed: at least 237 since 7 October 2023. Read more ➡️ ow.ly/RW1850X7Gl

"Met deze wet beperk je de vrijheid van meningsuiting te veel. Je kan deze wet niet voldoende afbakenen zonder dat je als #journalist, activist of demonstrant strafbaar kan worden geacht." - Jasmijn de Zeeuw, jurist & onderzoeker. ➡️ Luister terug op @nporadio1.bsky.social: ow.ly/bE8550WM0Cz

The abrupt #USAID cuts is causing independent #media to disappear. Of the 800 billion euros that the #EuropeanUnion wants to spend on defence, 150 million should go to independent media to combat Russian #disinformation. ➡️Interview with @ruthkronenburg.bsky.social in @ftm.eu: ow.ly/s1PN50WIGzA

🚨 FPU slaat alarm! We maken ons grote zorgen over een nieuw #wetsvoorstel dat het ‘verheerlijken van terrorisme’ strafbaar stelt. Journalisten riskeren vervolging voor normale verslaggeving, zoals het tonen van beelden of het citeren van betrokkenen. Deze wet mag er niet doorheen!➡️ ow.ly/I6wU50WGE6V

🚨 Israel's continuous attacks on #journalists threatens to shut down access to reliable information. This is a deliberate strategy to prevent critical reporting. The attack on journalist #AnasAlSharif & his colleagues calls for concrete measures. 💛 We keep #PRESSingfortruth! ➡️ ow.ly/4xaG50WFXSu

🚨 Access to information is a #humanright and vital to #democratic societies. Disinformation, #censorship, and a lack of media diversity threaten the availability of reliable information and erode public trust. 1/3

Since October 2023, #Israel has banned all foreign press from entering #Gaza. More than 4,000 international #journalists have been denied access. That means we rely entirely on Palestinian reporters, who, on top of bombardments and targeted attacks, are now being starved.

🚨 Around the world, #journalists face unprecedented levels of repression. This threatens the public's right to access information. Since 2012 we have supported over 8000 journalists through our emergency fund. ➡️ Explore our interactive map: ow.ly/3g9w50WmL2V#journalists 📸 Mohammed Zaanoun
