“The imperative for a new global standard for the protection of journalists and effective international enforcement has never been greater,” said the IFJ president, Dominique Pradalié.
The group said 68 journalists had been killed covering the Israeli-Gaza war since Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October – more than one a day and accounting for 72% of all media deaths worldwide this year.
It said the overwhelming majority of them were Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces continue their offensive.
It expressed concern that crimes against media workers were going unpunished and urged governments “to shed full light on these murders and to put in place measures to ensure the safety of journalists”.
In Africa, the organisation referred to “four particularly shocking murders”, two in Cameroon and one each in Sudan and Lesotho, “which have failed to be fully investigated to date”.
The biggest number were jailed in China and Hong Kong – 80 journalists – followed by 54 in Myanmar, 41 in Turkey, 40 in Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea, 35 in Belarus and 23 in Egypt.
