Call to action in memory of murdered Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia

On the eve of the anniversary of the murder of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, CPJ joins 17 press freedom and journalists’ organizations to call on Malta to set up a national action plan on media freedom and journalist safety. 

Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed in a car bomb attack on October 16, 2017. The statement also calls for all perpetrators of her murder to be brought to justice as legal proceedings continue.

The joint statement provides a broad set of media freedom recommendations as part of a public consultation set up by the Maltese government. “The implementation of such recommendations would be an appropriate and meaningful way to continue to mark the life and legacy of Daphne Caruana Galizia,” it reads.
