Apart from the fact that our legal team is doing a great job, these statistics also highlight that journalism is becoming increasingly dangerous - and, in the case of legal procedures, expensive to carry out. Please remember to support independent media if you value the truth.
In 2024, ECPMF supported 30 legal cases across 23 countries - our broadest reach yet! From defamation to whistleblowing, our legal team - @fluturakusari.bsky.social & @gsrmari3.bsky.social - stood with journalists, outlets, and activists facing threats.
