Killings of journalists rise as reprisal murders more than double in 2020 27 Décembre 2020
New York, December 22 (Infosplusgabon) - The number of journalists singled out for murder in reprisal for their work more than doubled this year, leading to a rise in overall work-related killings, CPJ found in a report released today.
