“Today serves as a reminder that democratic societies cannot flourish without the safety and freedom of the press.

“Journalists are essential in shedding light on stories that promote accountability, justice, and transparency,” he said.

Senator Alli underscored the ongoing dangers that journalists encounter, such as violence, harassment and even murder.

He noted that these crimes, when committed against journalists, frequently go unpunished, creating atmosphere of fear that stifles freedom of expression and threatens democracy.

“Those who intimidate or harm journalists must be held accountable,” Alli asserted. He assured Nigerians of his dedication to supporting laws and policies that protect the rights of journalists to work without fear.

“We must establish and strengthen judicial and law enforcement mechanisms that expedite the prosecution of individuals who commit crimes against journalists,” he said.

Senator Alli called for a collaborative effort among media organisations, civil society and government agencies to protect press freedom.

He emphasised the need for a safe environment for journalists, along with supportive measures to mitigate their risks.

“On this International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, let us renew our collective commitment to ending impunity, protecting press freedom, and upholding justice.

“Let us honour the memory of journalists who have sacrificed their lives in pursuit of truth by strengthening our commitment to a free and safe press,” he added.

The lawmaker expressed profound respect and appreciation for journalists, recognising their resilience and dedication to their profession.

Senator Alli also reaffirmed his commitment to advancing frameworks that would protect media freedom and address impunity against journalists.
