This Sunday, 12 July, marks 1,000 days since the assassination of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. On this anniversary, Index has joined with other human rights organisations to once again call on Maltese authorities to bring her killers to justice.

Interview with Nadine Strossen
Index on Censorship's editor in chief Rachael Jolley speaks with one of the 150 writers and academics who have signed a letter to Harpers magazine saying that the free exchange of information and ideas is becoming more constricted. 

Index joins #HoldtheLine campaign

Index on Censorship has joined sixty press freedom groups and civil society organisations, journalism institutions, filmmakers, and other supporters to form a coalition in support of internationally celebrated Filipino-American journalist Maria Ressa.

Index has joined the #HoldTheLine campaign in support of Ressa and independent media under attack in the Philippines. The campaign takes its name from Ressa’s commitment to ‘hold the line’ in response to sustained state harassment and prolific online violence.

Ruth Smeeth: "Free speech is a
force for good"

"On Tuesday night, 150 leading writers and academics from across the political spectrum signed a joint open letter for Harper’s magazine decrying the current state of debate and engagement. Many of them have a track record in the fight to protect free speech, in fact several have previously written for Index. All of these people have a profile and voice. They aren’t being silenced. But they are rightly worried about the quality and calibre of our collective national conversations." Read the new weekly blog post from our chief executive.
