Special Edition: IFEX members raise their voices on World Press Freedom Day

Many organisations in the IFEX network advocate for press freedom in both online and offline spaces year-round. In honour of World Press Freedom Day, members took part in various initiatives and activities to defend the rights of journalists, which are inextricably connected to people’s right to freedom of expression and information.

From imprisoned women journalists in Iran being awarded the 2023 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize for their work, to the release of IFEX member Mizzima’s freelance reporter Nyein Nyein Aye in Myanmar, this week's Regional Briefs showcase some of the inspiring regional events and actions marking the day.
