Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemned on the occasion of International Women’s Day that although journalists In 2024, fewer men than men were arrested. more severe sentences.
According to the organization, 12.7% of the world’s detained journalists are women, 69 out of 474, but since January they have received 5 of the 9 harshest sentences, ranging from From 10 years of imprisonment to life imprisonment.
“Never in the last five years have so many women been subjected to such brutal repression,” RSF noted.
He focused on the cases of Belarusians Marina Zolavata, Lyudmila Chekina and Valeria Kostyukhova or Burma’s Shin Dewe, the world’s two largest prisons for journalists, “which are also the ones that most severely punish women who dare to defend freedom of information.”
In Burundi, he added, Floriane Iragabie was sentenced to 10 years in prison, becoming the first female journalist to be sentenced in that country in five years.
RSF noted that Dawe was sentenced to life in prison, the harshest sentence given this year to a journalist of any gender, more than her compatriot Sai Zaw Thaika, who received 20 years in prison.
According to RSF general secretary Christophe Deloire, these repressions against journalists “are a consequence of the fact that the great figures of journalism are increasingly women.”
He also recalled that in 2023 his organization supported 140 journalists around the world.
Among the activities they are carrying out, he mentioned the construction of a special space in the Gaza Strip so that journalists can continue their work, training to cover elections in Senegal or the creation of workshops in India. (EFE)
