Attacks

A grim year for journalists

The 2021 press freedom index released recently by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) makes for grim reading. The report reveals that 488 journalists were detained in 2021 – an increase of 20 per cent compared to the previous year – while a total of 46 were killed and 65 held hostage. Of those detained, 60 were women (33 per cent higher than 2020).
