GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER JOURNALISTS KILLED WITH IMPUNITY IN SOMALIA Dear Foreign Minister, Somalia remains one of the most dangerous places on earth to be a journalist. [...] Since January 2009, at least four have been deliberately shot dead by gunmen believed to be linked to the warring parties. [...] The killers know that they will not be held to account. [...] Journalists, like other Somali civilians, are victims of the near-total impunity for serious crimes, including war crimes, in Somalia. [...] Journalists have also been killed or injured in crossfire and indiscriminate or Foreign Minister disproportionate attacks.
