We have watched, with growing concern, the challenges reporters in our network face in #Hungary, the #CzechRepublic, and #Serbia. They’ve been smeared, threatened and even imprisoned.
On this #WorldPressFreedomDay, and every day, OCCRP honors the sacrifices our colleagues make in their commitment to uncovering the truth and speaking it to authority.
We also remember the journalists killed doing their work, including #JanKuciak and #DaphneCaruanaGalizia.
It is impossible to fully appreciate the blood, toil, tears, and sweat that goes into every article published by an investigative journalism outlet.
Since I started working at @OCCRP I see the process from the inside. Stories being researched for years. Every word fact-checked and supported by documents and interviews.
Journalists harassed, surveilled, persecuted, and killed because of their work.
Today we celebrate their sacrifice and work.
