Around the world, media workers are more & more risking their lives to bring us the news.
The United Nations recognizes the invaluable work of journalists to ensure that the public is informed & engaged.
Without press freedom, we won't have any freedom.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay , UN Syria Commission of Inquiry calls on the Govt of Syria and all other parties to the conflict to stop imposing restrictions and respect & protect freedom of opinion and expression. #Journalists across #Syria continue to be silenced, attacked, detained, tortured.
Disinformation is deepening divides, fueling crises around the world; while free press is under attack.
Just last year, 71 journalists killed, 320 imprisoned.
#WorldPressFreedomDay is a chance to stand for truth, protect those bravely working to uncover it & counter oppression.
“Without press freedom, we won't have any freedom.
A free press is not a choice, but a necessity.”

'لن ننعم بأي شكل من أشكال الحرية إذا انعدمت حرية الصحافة. فحرية الصحافة ليست خيارا، وإنما هي ضرورة.'
