Dear Press Freedom Supporter,
In October, when a court in Malta's capital, Valletta, sentenced
brothers Alfred and George Degiorgio to 40 years each for their role
as hitmen in the 2017 assassination of investigative journalist Daphne
Caruana Galizia, the country passed an important milestone in seeking
justice for the slain journalist and ending impunity in her case.
Those convictions were the result of five years of advocacy by CPJ and
our partners to ensure full justice for Caruana Galizia. Further
legal proceedings are pending against the alleged mastermind of
her assassination, Yorgen Fenech, as well as two men who allegedly
supplied the bomb that killed the journalist.
Demanding justice in wake of a journalist's murder-for the
sake of the family, for the journalist's colleagues and
friends, for free expression-is excruciatingly important and
difficult work.
Last year, CPJ and its partners helped secure convictions in the
murders of at least 12 journalists. When nearly 80% of
journalists' murders remain unsolved, every conviction matters.
We have yet to see justice, for example, in the brutal 2018 murder of
Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. But that hasn't
stopped us from fighting for accountability. CPJ recently joined
the Knight Institute in filing a Freedom of Information Act request to
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA, and
the Public Interest Declassification Board seeking the immediate
release of a U.S. intelligence report on Khashoggi's
killing. These journalists cannot pass into memory with their
murders unsolved: CPJ will continue to demand accountability for
every single slain journalist, and an end to impunity for the
murder of journalists altogether.
Thank you for standing with us in that effort and for being a
part of work that, with lengthy

court procedures and government pushback, can take years to reach
justice but is worth every effort.
Best,
John D. Weis
