Haiti, Israel most likely to let journalists’ murders go unpunished, CPJ 2024 impunity index shows - Committee to Protect Journalists Journalist Sagal Salad Osman (Screenshot: SNTV) Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah (Photo: Reuters/Issam Abdallah) 10/31/24, 10:37 AM Sagal Salad Osman, a producer and presenter for Radio Mogadishu, was murdered by Somali assailants in 2016 in what police said was a targeted killing by the militant group Al-Shabaab. Militants have a history of targeting journalists for Radio Mogadishu and other state media, according to CPJ research. Women in public roles in particular have been targeted, the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa found in a 2016 report. Also a university student, Osman produced children’s programming for the radio outlet, according to a journalist who asked to remain anonymous. The five journalists who CPJ believes were clearly and deliberately targeted as journalists by Israel are: Issam Abdallah, a Lebanese videographer for Reuters killed on October 13, 2023, Hamza Al Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya, killed on January 7 in their car as they returned from an assignment, and Ismail Al Ghoul, and Rami Al Refee, killed on July 31 in an Israeli drone strike. All were reporting on the war, and three of the five were wearing “Press” vests at the time they were killed. https://cpj.org/thematic-reports/haiti-israel-most-likely-to-let-journalists-murders-go-unpunished-cpj-2024-impunity-index-shows/ Page 13 of 21
