These attacks on the press are not isolated incidents—they’re part of a dangerous pattern. And the people responsible are finally being called out in court.

But legal action isn’t enough. We need public pressure to make sure this never happens again.

A democracy that attacks the press is no democracy at all. Stand with us in defending truth, transparency, and those who risk everything to report it.

Thanks,
