Israel Gaza Oct 2023
#NotATarget: CPJ continues to document dismal toll of journalist
killings in Gaza
The first month of the Israel-Gaza war was the deadliest month for
journalists that CPJ has ever documented, with 37 deaths from October
7 to November 6. The current, dismal toll-of 63 journalists and
media workers killed as of December 5-is more than 2022's
global total of 42 journalists and media workers who were confirmed as
killed in direct reprisal for their work. The situation in Gaza is
particularly difficult, accounting for 56 of the 63
deaths. Learn more »

CPJ spoke with Pavel Butorin, the husband of journalist Alsu
Kurmasheva who has been held in pretrial detention in Russia since
October. Kurmasheva is the second U.S. journalist to be held by Russia
this year, after the arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan
Gershkovich on espionage charges in March. "

We very much appreciate all the strong statements from so many
organizations, including yours," Butorin told CPJ, "The
more awareness we bring to this case the better it is for Alsu."
CPJ joined nine other press freedom groups in a letter to express
disappointment after Romania's prosecutor's office at the
Bucharest Court of Appeal decided to close its investigation into the
harassment and smear campaign against investigative journalist Emilia
?ercan. ?ercan had received threatening messages following
her critical reporting on the then-Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuc?.

This decision fails both Emilia ?ercan and all Romanian
journalists who seek to hold political power to account," the
letter states.
CPJ is gathering images from the Israel-Gaza war that show journalists
working under under extreme, heartbreaking, and, too-often, fatal
circumstances as they document the war. The photos powerfully
illustrate what's at stake for journalists who try to bring us
the news amid strikes and a ground assault on the blockaded Gaza
Strip. CPJ advises viewer discretion as some of the images can be
distressing.
