The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists is being observed today.

The day aims to raise awareness about the high rate of unsolved crimes against media workers and to promote freedom of speech.

This year, the theme of the day is "Threats Evolve. Impunity Endures."

According to UNESCO, between 2006 and 2025, over 1,600 journalists have been killed around the world, with close to 6 out of 7 cases of these killings remaining judicially unresolved.
