YOUR SUPPORT HELPS KEEP THE TRUTH ALIVE
YOUR GIFT TODAY COULD HELP FIGHT BACK AGAINST ATTACKS ON PRESS FREEDOM
We are living through a period of escalating instability and crisis. With the rise of authoritarian leadership and conflicts raging around the world, reporting the truth is more vital than ever. But more and more the truth is under threat. Authoritarian regimes are tightening their grip on the free media. Physical attacks, imprisonment, surveillance and intimidation are routinely used against journalists to silence them and stop them reporting the truth. But together, we can fight back and restore the voices of journalists silenced by attacks on freedom of expression.
2024 was the deadliest year on record for journalists. In Russia, reporters are locked up for exposing war crimes. In Gaza, many have been directly targeted by Israeli forces. In Northern Ireland, journalists have been silenced through threats of violence and intimidation. But Amnesty International is fighting to protect the rights – and lives – of all journalists around the world, including in Sudan, Hong Kong, Russia, Afghanistan and Northern Ireland. We cannot allow journalists to be silenced. Power operates in the dark and when the freedom to report the truth is lost, impunity runs rampant.
