Safety of Journalists: UNESCO Asia-Pacific In Graphic Detail #3

Around the world, we have seen the brutal, calculated murder of journalists as the ultimate form of censorship of the free press. In the Asia-Pacific, these crimes have become an epidemic, with the 27 killings in 2017.

On International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists on 2 November, UNESCO Bangkok joins the international community’s demand to end impunity, with the latest in a series of infographics to be released over the next few weeks.

• Tuesday, 23 October: ‘Writing Peace’ manual launch – Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education
• Saturday, 27 October: World Day for Audio Visual Heritage – Memory of the World
