PEN Malta and 17 other Maltese organisations have written to Foreign Minister Chris Fearne, urging Malta to back an EU ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements, and to pass a national law banning it here.

Warrants for journalists threaten Malta's democracy newsbook.com.mt/en/warrants-…
PEN Malta is outraged by the acquittal of Yorgen Fenech on charges of commissioning the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. An acquittal on this charge does not settle who ordered her killing, it leaves that question open. 🧵

Justice for Daphne cannot end here. We call on the Maltese authorities to pursue full accountability and to finally implement the long-overdue reforms to protect journalists and media freedom in Malta.
Seven years on, impunity for killing a journalist should not be the lesson this case leaves behind. #JusticeForDaphne
"Għal eluf ta' Maltin, Ġorġ kien l-awtur u l-illustratur ta' stejjer li jsaħħru," qal il-President ta' PEN Malta Kurt Borg.

#Yemen "CPJ demands Yemeni authorities take immediate action after the death threats against Al Arabiya and Al Hadath correspondent Mahmoud al-Humaidi and his family, particularly after his colleague Mohammed Aydah was killed in June despite receiving similar warnings that went unheeded. They must immediately investigate their source, provide effective protection to the journalist and his family, and ensure those responsible are held to account before these threats escalate."

Ten years ago, Burundian journalist Jean Bigirimana disappeared.
His former colleague, Éloge Willy KanezaI, tells CPJ about the ongoing push for truth and justice.
A decade without answers is a decade too long.

HRW: journalist Mohammed Aydah killed in Yemen, journalist Hamoud Haza detained days later and freed only after pledging silence on the government. Part of a pattern HRW says has killed over 90 journalists since 2015.
