Somalia: Getting away with murder: Journalists killed with impunity in Somalia
Summary
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.
