Press Freedom Day, marked this year under the slogan: "Stop the War!"
Today is Press Freedom Day. This year's event will be entitled "Stop the War!", emphasising the crucial role of objective, fact-based journalism.
In Chisinau, the Centre for Independent Journalism will hold a flash mob in front of the Embassy of the Russian Federation to pay tribute to journalists who were killed while carrying out their mission to inform the public. The event comes to promote the message of peace #StoptheWar! #ОстановитеBойну! #StopWar!, but also to emphasise that killing journalists will not hide the horrors of war.
On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day, celebrated annually on May 3, EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell urges Russia to stop intimidating Ukrainian war correspondents, whom it is trying to prevent from telling the "truth," according to CaleaEuropeana.ro. quoted by Radio Moldova.
The EU provides emergency support to media outlets and journalists covering the war in Ukraine, including psychological support, helmets and other protective equipment, as well as funding to cover salaries.
Also in Russia and Belarus, despite the risk of long-term imprisonment and long detention, independent media and courageous individual journalists strive to report on the Russian government's war against Ukraine and the atrocities committed against the Ukrainian people. Like them, many independent and dedicated journalists and media workers around the world continue to expose the injustice in their countries and contribute to building a better future. Many of them despite daily harassment, violence and intimidation, both online and offline.
TRM.MD recalls that in 1993, the UN General Assembly proclaimed May 3 as World Press Freedom Day, to bring to public attention the importance of respecting freedom of expression.
