To mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists on 2 November, we've released our 2026 Press Freedom Predators List. Building on the World Press Freedom Index, the list highlights the actors responsible for the decline in press freedom.

On #IDEI : According to @antonioguterres: over the past year, at least 34 journalists paid the ultimate price. Six of every seven such killings go unpunished.

The US response to my UN report fails to refute any of my legal findings that the US has murdered 244 civilians at sea. Instead it resorts to childish name-calling. I’m obviously not a terrorist sympathizer - but the US is committing extrajudicial killings ohchr.org/sites/default/file…
