breeds violence against – UN human rights expert to the UN Security Council:

UN Human Rights expert Frank La Rue warns the UN Security Council that #impunity is behind growing acts of violence against #journalists in the world: http://sm.ohchr.org/JChBue

“At least 84 journalists have been killed in Syria since March 2011. Last month, two journalists were killed in Mali. These are simply very recent extreme cases that give some idea on the risks journalists face to inform us every day,” Mr. La Rue noted. “Only in the last two years, I have prepared letters on attacks against 171 journalists to 40 different countries.”

For the UN expert, more systematic attention of international bodies to all events of violence and harassment against journalists is crucial to change this trend: “Only some extreme cases of violence raise some attention. The far majority remains totally invisible.
