** Remembering Daphne Caruana Galizia on
the third anniversary of her murder
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed in a car bomb on 16 October 2017.
Before she died, she had made public stories about corruption, money laundering and Malta’s links with organised crime. Since her death, her family have worked to bring her killers to justice. As we mark the third anniversary of her death, Index on Censorship’s associate editor Mark Frary talks to her sister Corinne Vella.

** [link removed]"Nelson’s legacy isn’t the issue, the culture war is"

History is not set in stone. After all, many people’s stories are never told and our perceptions rightly change as we discover more about people’s journeys.
Museums and libraries are temples of education and learning. They should be homes for debate and exploration, free from political interference and able to examine every aspect of history and culture without reprisal. Read our CEO

** [link removed] crisis in Kashmir: an Index reading list
------------------------------------------------------------
The Indian government’s revocation of autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir has been a disaster for free speech.
In October 2019, Narendra Modi’s government rescinded article 370 of the Indian constitution which had given the region special autonomous status since 1954.
As the situation worsens, we look back at articles published in Index ([link removed]) magazine and online exploring the effect the conflict has had on free speech, journalists and the people who call Kashmir their home. Photo: Suket Dedhia
