TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2020 /CNW/ -
A coalition of more than a dozen press freedom and human rights groups, led by the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, is calling on the Canadian government to help protect the lives of foreign journalists at risk. In a letter written to Canada s Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marco El Mendicino, the coalition is asking that the government introduce a Journalists at Risk program within Canada s existing refugee system. It s a modest proposal, allowing at least 100 high risk foreign journalists annually on a fast-track option to apply for Canada s protection.
