NEW: Committee to Protect Journalists just released its 2023 census of journalists jailed around the world in connection with their work on December 1. 9 countries from the MENA appear on the list: -17 journalists are jailed in Israel -17 in Iran -13 in Egypt -10 in Saudi Arabia -5 in Bahrain -5 in

The bloodthirsty Islamic Republic regime has executed 4 Kurdish dissidents as it escalates its assault on humanity, domestically & abroad. United Nations representatives must NOT visit Iran unless there’s unrestricted access to political prisoners & a moratorium on executions.


Thanks to Bill McCarren and National Press Club for their unflinching support in the fight to secure the release of Evan Gershkovich. Looking forward to this event. #IStandWithEvan



#Morocco: "Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release and pardon of journalists Taoufik Bouachrine, Soulimane Raissouni and Omar Radi, but remains concerned about Morocco's lack of tolerance for independent journalism." said CPJ MENA's Yeganeh Rezaian.


CPJ welcomes reports that The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty editor Alsu Kurmasheva will be released as part of a prisoner exchange, and calls on Russia to release other jailed journalists and stop harassing those in exile. cpj.org/2024/08/cpj-we… CPJ Europe and Central Asia







My Committee to Protect Journalists colleagues & I CPJ Union fight everyday to protect journalists under threat from abusive forces. Our efforts receive widespread appreciation and acclaim. If we are forced to strike due to unfair labor conditions who will do this critically important work?
