IPI Executive Director Barbara Trionfi: “2019 has seen a clear drop in the number of journalists killed to the lowest level in 20 years…We certainly welcome this development. However, we fear it may be a direct consequence of increased authoritarian tendencies in many countries, where alternative means of silencing the press, such as twisting the law to harass and jail critical journalists while smearing independent media, have been adopted.”

Freeman Rogers, editor of The BVI Beacon: “If the bill is passed into law, we believe the media would almost certainly be stifled by the threat or actuality of prosecution for doing nothing more than its job.”
