The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Teresa Ribeiro has welcomed the publication of the report of the public inquiry into the circumstances around the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, calling it a “significant step in achieving justice”.
“I call on the Maltese government to promptly bring all perpetrators and masterminds behind the journalist’s murder to justice,” Robeiro said in a statement. She took note of the apology made by the government and its “willingness to analyse in-depth the outcome of the report”.
Noting “several shortcomings by the Maltese government”, Ribeiro asked the authorities to “implement fully the recommendations made by the board. Such implementation will pave the way for the safety of journalists and could form a step towards healing this profound wound in Maltese society”.
