The #UnitedStates was added to the CIVICUS Monitor #Watchlist due to concerns about declining #CivilLiberties, particularly under the #Trump Administration. #CIVICUS, a global alliance of civil society groups, cited actions such as: cuts to #ForeignAid; crackdowns on #diversity initiatives; attempts to restrict #MediaFreedom or the #FreePress; and threats to #dissent. The #WhiteHouse has rejected this assessment, asserting that President Trump is leading the most transparent administration in history.

"Stefania Maurizi is a journalist who worked with Wikileaks as a media partner and Glenn Greenwald on the Edward Snowden revelations. She’s also the author of Secret Power: Wikileaks and Its Enemies.

She sat down with Richard Hames to explain how Wikileaks achieved so much, how the state tried to destroy them, and how they fought back and won."

My opinion

Mr. Vance please shut your filthy mouth and fuck off to your US ruled by fascists like you. we don't need or want people like you here in europe
mind your own business and don't meddle in our affairs.
You and your corrupt gang of criminals will have enough problems soon when the honest and upstanding citizens of America drive you out of washington.

Right now, the rich and powerful are using controversial lawsuits to stop journalists and others from exposing corruption and wrongdoing.

These legal threats - known as SLAPPs - have been used to silence those uncovering the Post Office Horizon scandal, reporting on sexual harassment allegations against the owner of Harrods, and even covering the war in Ukraine.

#Palestine / With over 140 Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza, the IFJ demands investigation

Since the start of the war in Gaza on October 7, 2024, at least 142 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed in Israeli attacks, with many more injured or missing. The International Federation of Journalists (#IFJ) and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (#PJS) strongly condemn these attacks, calling for an immediate investigation.

The IFJ also urges journalists on the ground to prioritize their safety, emphasizing that no story is worth a life.

Here's a partial chronology of the events, including a selection of names and dates. Many more journalists were killed during this period, as indicated in the original text, but It still represents the scale of the violence inflicted by Israel on Gaza's civilian population.

*October 7:* The war in Gaza begins. Among those killed on this day or shortly thereafter are: Mohammad Al-Salhi (Fourth Authority), Ibrahim Lafi (Ain Media), Mohammad Jarghoun (Smart Media).

*October 10:* Three journalists are killed in an airstrike near Gaza City's fishing port: Said Al-Tawil (Al-Khamisa), Mohammed Sobboh (Khabar), and Hisham Al-Nawahjh (Khabar).

*October 13:* Hossam Mubarak (Al Aqsa TV) is killed.

*October 27:* Saed Radwan, Hamza Abu Salmiya, and Haneen Mahmoud Baroud, all killed in an airstrike.

*Late October:* Multiple journalists are killed in ongoing airstrikes.

*November 1:* Bilal Muhammad Rajab (Al-Quds Al-Youm) is killed.

*Mid-November:* Several journalists are killed during increased Israeli attacks.

*November 19:* Ahmed Abu Shariya (Tasnim Agency) is killed.

*Late November:* Multiple journalists killed in continued attacks.
