Marking the 10th annual International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, an RFA special feature recognizes eight recent cases of journalists across Asia who have faced retribution for merely doing their job. In the years since UNGA established #EndImpunity Day, nearly 800 journalists have been killed globally, with many more facing violent threats, harassment or unjust detention. Four out of five killers of journalists consistently go unpunished, Committee to Protect Journalists finds. This includes RFA contributors, who, sadly, authorities often target. As crimes against journalists continue to mount, RFA remains committed to reporting critical news in countries around Asia that lack a free and independent press. Today especially, we honor the journalists who have been unjustly detained, threatened or killed for their work bringing audiences the truth.
