Killers of journalists go unpunished nine out of ten times – leading to more murders of those who report and bring vital information to the public.
This is according to UNESCO in a statement marking the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists (IDEI) commemorated on November 2. The date was chosen to remember the assassination of two French journalists Ghislaine Dupont and Claude Vernon on 2 November 2013 in Mali.
