The number of journalists killed in the line of duty in 2022-2023 increased compared to the previous two years, according to a report by the UN agency Unesco.
The development is alarming, according to the report. 162 journalists were killed during the period, an increase of 38 percent.
“In 2022 and 2023, one journalist was killed every four days, simply because they were doing their job,” Unesco chief Audrey Azoulay said in a statement.
They call on countries to do more to ensure that “crimes never go unpunished”.
Almost all cases where journalists are killed in the line of duty remain unsolved. Of the cases noted by Unesco in 2006, 85 percent still lack a solution.
