    CPJ commends #PressFreedom advocate @RepGregoryMeeks for calling on Egypt to reverse the closure of Mada Masr and release wrongfully detained journalists, including editor-in-chief Lina Attalah.
    House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign
    RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The Egyptian government’s closure of @MadaMasr and its politically motivated detention and conviction of editor Lina Attalah is unacceptable. These actions are attacks on press freedom and a blatant effort to silence independent journalism. I call on Egypt to reverse the closure and release wrongfully detained journalists.

Iranian authorities must grant him urgent medical attention, and release him unconditionally now." — Sara Qudah, MENA Regional Director Read Reza's message here ⤵️ #FreeThePress #FreeReza

    RT @CPJ_Eurasia: #Serbia 🇷🇸: This weekend's historic election, which saw former president Aleksandar Vučić lose to a student-led protest movement, was marred by widespread attacks on the press. On election day, journalists were assaulted, pelted with stones and kicked while reporting; foreign crews were turned back at the border; reporters were barred from polling stations and electoral commissions over accreditation that the law does not require, and some were forcibly removed by security; the ruling SNS party excluded independent outlets from its headquarters on election night; and journalists faced smears on pro-government TV as well as online death threats. As a new government takes shape, CPJ reiterates its pre-election call for every case to be fully investigated. At this critical period of change, journalists must be able to work freely and inform the Serbian people of what is happening in their democracy. #Serbia #PressFreedom Read more 📷: Uros Arsic/Reuters

    Szabolcs Panyi’s expert reporting also made him a target of Orbán, particularly in the run-up to Hungary’s April election. Now, journalists in Hungary say the pressure is lifting after Orbán’s landslide loss in that vote. Read more from @AP⤵️

    “I’m an American. I work for the Washington Post. My story’s getting a lot of attention around the world. Everyone wants to talk to me. But I can't imagine what it’s like for all of the victims that have gone through this same ordeal and are living with the threat of this violence on a daily basis,” journalist Heidi Levine, who was violently assaulted by Israeli settlers last week, told @CNN's @jaketapper.

    CPJ submitted testimony to the @TLHumanRights ahead of its October 21 briefing on transnational networks fueling the war in Sudan, highlighting how foreign weapons, financing, personnel, and logistical support sustain armed actors responsible for killing, detaining, and otherwise targeting journalists. The testimony calls on Congress to increase scrutiny of the transnational networks sustaining the conflict, strengthen oversight of arms transfers, pursue accountability for attacks on journalists, and support Sudanese journalists and independent media.

    Thank you #PressFreedom advocate Sen. @ChrisVanHollen for calling for an end to Egypt’s assault on press freedom. Journalism is #NotACrime.
    Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
    Less than a month after arresting the entire Matsadaash newsroom, the Egyptian govt has now filed baseless charges against the editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, continuing their largest crackdown in years.   This assault on the free press must end NOW. Journalism is not a crime.

    “Journalists must be able to document what happens around the country without fear. Their ability to do so is an essential part of a free and fair election.” — Attila Mong, @CPJ_Eurasia program coordinator
    CPJ Europe and Central Asia @CPJ_Eurasia
    #Serbia 🇷🇸: CPJ calls on Serbian authorities to ensure that journalists can report safely throughout Sunday’s parliamentary election, and the period that follows. During the election campaign, journalists have been pushed and hit by police officers, had phones seized or cameras struck, and been prevented from covering campaign events. “The attacks we have seen during this election campaign are a warning of what could happen on October 25 and afterwards. Serbian authorities must ensure that police protect journalists rather than obstruct them and that local and international reporters can access election-related events. All reported attacks and irregularities must be promptly investigated,” said Attila Mong, CPJ’s Europe program coordinator. "Journalists must be able to document what happens around the country without fear. Their ability to do so is an essential part of a free and fair election," Mong said. Read more here ⬇️

    Egypt’s crackdown on the press has spread fear through newsrooms in Egypt and among Egyptian journalists working for outlets based abroad. Egypt remains one of the world’s worst jailers of journalists, with at least 25 currently behind bars. Read more about Egypt’s crackdown⤵️
