This year’s commemoration of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists ‘aims to promote a broader discussion on the safety of journalists working in crisis and emergency situations’. Impunity is the common thread running through the alerts that Cartooning for Peace has published in recent months, particularly in the context of legal proceedings in which arbitrariness prevails and which are used as instruments of repression by regimes that despise freedom of expression.
We must, each at our own level, bear witness to these lives shattered by arbitrariness and ensure that their fate is not ignored. We must relentlessly denounce the impunity of these crimes, which are the mainspring of their repetition.
