Mr. Kaye reminds all Governments that accountability and a culture of
respect for transparency and journalism are critical elements in
reducing attacks on all journalists.
“All the data shows that we are in the midst of a very serious crisis.
It’s not just one attack here and another there; dozens of journalists
have been killed and hundreds detained or threatened in recent years.
And yet the perpetrators are virtually never held accountable,” says the
expert.
