I am safe. But so many #HongKong journalists aren’t. It is crucial that we keep up the fight for #PressFreedom .

Thank you to my RSF team and colleagues around the world for your support & concern about my well-being following my recent detention and deportation from HK.

Next week #ijf24 we’ll discuss the injustice unfolding in a #HongKong courtroom & why it matters so much - for Hong Kong, the region & the world.

My comments to The New York Times on President Biden’s remarks yesterday. We very much hope the Biden administration is considering a solution that involves Julian Assange’s immediate release with no further time in prison and a stop to these endless extradition proceedings. nytimes.com/2024/04/11/wor…

🔴 Today marks 5 years that WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange has been detained at the UK’s high security Belmarsh prison - 1,827 days held on remand, convicted of no crime.
We call again for his immediate release and a stop to the endless extradition proceedings.
#FreeAssange

As President Biden responds “we’re considering it” to a media question about Australia’s request to drop the prosecution of Julian Assange, RSF reiterates our long-standing call on the Biden administration to drop these charges, close the case, and #FreeAssange !

'We have never experienced such blatant efforts by authorities to evade scrutiny of court proceedings in any country' says Rebecca Vincent as Hong Kong expels RSF advocate

After 6 years, South Sudan has botched its long-overdue investigation into Christopher Allen’s killing, failing to conduct a credible investigation and further obstructing the path to justice.

Read RSF’s reaction, with comments from his family.

Collateral Murder remains among the most damning WikiLeaks revelations, showing the US military fatally gunning down a group of civilians in Iraq, including two Reuters journalists. Those crimes have never been prosecuted - only the publisher. It’s time to #FreeAssange .

For the 1st time in over 2 years of arbitrary detention #Russia has admitted having Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Khyliuk in prison. In a letter read by RSF Минобороны России seems to imply he is considered as a serviceman. He is a journalist, he should be freed. rsf.org/fr/rsf-demande…

After a travel-related computer mishap and a few painful weeks working on a loaner from my French employer, I’m now convinced there really are two types of people in this world: qwerty and azerty.

Eight years have passed since we published the #PanamaPapers . Thanks to an amazing team of journalists ICIJ and a brave whistleblower #JohnDoe , no one can claim anymore that we would not have known how the rich and super-rich undermine democracy.

It’s Shireen’s birthday today. This was her last birthday celebration-she was killed a month later. The pain of losing her never gets easier. Happy birthday my angel ❤️‍🩹🕊️

For those in Perugia #ijf24 , join us on 18 April to discuss the alarming developments in a #HongKong courtroom, where #JimmyLai is being prosecuted for journalism & having a newspaper with a pro-democracy, anti-corruption viewpoint.
