Hi there, Three months have passed since journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was brutally assassinated when a car bomb placed under her car exploded as she drove away from her home in Bidnija, Malta. A specialist in investigating corruption, she courageously worked to uncover how politicians and others hide illicit wealth behind secret companies. Unfortunately, justice is yet to be had for her death. Vigils were held this week in her honour, reminding us that her legacy continues and those who expose and fight corruption must be protected, not attacked. We have immense respect for those who shine a light on corruption and put their safety on the line for the greater good, such as Daphne. But her murder is not an isolated case. In 2017 a total of 44 journalists were killed for doing their jobs. We continue to demand that the Maltese authorities bring her killers to justice. We are also calling on the UN to take greater steps to protect investigative journalists who play a vital role in making the world less corrupt. |
