🚨 Check out the updated programme for the MFRR Summit 2025: mfrr.eu/mfrr-summit-20… Join us on 13 Oct for a day of expert panels addressing the threats facing press freedom in Europe — from legal intimidation and digital surveillance to disinformation and economic pressure.
🇪🇺 The EU #RuleofLaw report recognises the decline in media freedom. But recognition is not action. We call on the EU to specify repercussions for those failing to implement EMFA and Anti-SLAPP Directive: mfrr.eu/eu-rule-of-law…
⚡️ The @WBjournalists Network and MFRR express deep concern and solidarity with over 200 journalists and media workers affected by the sudden announcement of the closure of Al Jazeera Balkans @AJBalkans after 14 years of continuous operation: mfrr.eu/safejournalist…

‼️ We strongly condemn the shutdown of Al Jazeera Balkans @AJBalkans. This is not just a business decision, it's a major setback for democracy in Southeast Europe. Journalists lose jobs. Citizens lose truth. Institutions must act to defend media freedom now.

Journalists in Turkey and Ukraine face torture & repression, but in very different contexts. We spoke with @TGS_org_tr's Banu Tuna @banutuna and Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Yurchyshyn @yarlyur about how & why journalists are being tortured for telling the truth: youtube.com/watch?v=gFsky7…
🇹🇷 @LemanDergisi’ne yönelik süren şiddetli saldırılar kabul edilemez! İfade hürriyeti ve #MedyaÖzgürlüğü adına karikatüristlerin yanında olduğumuzu ilan ediyor, yetkilileri derhal harekete geçerek Leman ve çizerlerini korumaya ve hedef göstermelere son vermeye çağırıyoruz.
