incredible reporting our Middle East and North Africa team has done
since October 7. Learn more »

Must-read
From Guatemala to Turkey, CPJ spoke with journalists' lawyers who have
faced retaliation around the world. From harassment to surveillance
and even imprisonment, when lawyers for reporters start facing the
same kinds of threats as their clients, it creates an environment of
censorship that harms citizens' ability to stay informed about
what is happening in their countries. "

When journalists can't have access to lawyers, they're
kind of left on their own," Doreen Weisenhaus, a media law expert at
Northwestern University, told CPJ.
CPJ's new timeline illustrates the 35-year road to justice for
murdered journalist Hugo Bustíos Saavedra. Killed in 1988, CPJ
and other press freedom groups tried for years to pressure
Peru's government to investigate Bustíos' murder,
including efforts to censure the Peruvian government. Former army
general Daniel Urresti Elera was convicted in April and sentenced to
12 years in prison for taking part in the killing. "

Justice has been done," Sharmelí Bustíos
Patiño, the journalist's daughter, said on X (formerly
Twitter) on the day Urresti was sentenced. "The road has been
hard and painful. Today all that remains is to give thanks."
The August 2023 death of Russian mercenary Yevgeny Prigozhin made
headlines around the world. To press freedom observers, the death was
notable for another reason: It could open doors to long-stalled
efforts for justice for three Russian journalists-Orkhan
Dzhemal, Kirill Radchenko, and Aleksandr Rastorguyev-killed as
they set out to investigate the mercenary's work in the Central
African Republic in 2018. "

The most important thing," a representative from the Dossier Center, a
London-based nonprofit that has investigated the killings, told CPJ,
"is that the families know who killed their loved ones and that they
are punished. Despite the pain that will never end, justice will give
them some solace."
