Haiti, Israel most likely to let journalists’ murders go unpunished, CPJ 2024 impunity index shows - Committee to Protect Journalists 10/31/24, 10:37 AM con$ict remains dangerous and even deadly. #e media are severely hampered in their reporting as journalists continue to face arrests, threats, and harassment. Syria Eleven journalists were murdered with complete impunity in Syria during the 2024 index period. Seven died between 2014 and 2016, as the initial uprising against the Bashar al-Assad regime widened into a full-scale war involving regional and global powers and the militant Islamic State began seizing control of Syrian territory. IS is believed to have murdered most of the seven killed between 2014 and 2016. Although !ghting has eased since Assad regained control of most of the country, Syrian media have continued to sustain blow after blow, as numerous journalists have been forced to $ee into exile, and government authorities and local leaders continue to harass, threaten, or arrest journalists. South Sudan Five journalists murdered in South Sudan in 2015 have kept this nation on the impunity index since their killings, showing there has been little to no e"ort in obtaining justice for their murders. #ese !ve, killed during South Sudan’s 2013-2020 civil war, are emblematic of journalists under pressure throughout a nation that has been plagued by instability since independence in 2011. CPJ has documented numerous instances of harassment, detention, and jailing of journalists, and the cross!re death of a war reporter in recent years. https://cpj.org/thematic-reports/haiti-israel-most-likely-to-let-journalists-murders-go-unpunished-cpj-2024-impunity-index-shows/ Page 19 of 21
