Paris (France) (AFP) – Sixty-seven journalists have been killed this year while performing their duties or because of their profession, says media freedom group Reporters Without Borders (RSF). The figure, outlined in RSF’s latest annual report, is an increase on the 66 killed in 2024. As for who is responsible for the deaths, “it is the Israeli armed forces,” explains RSF director general Thibaut Bruttin, with the report placing 43 percent of the deaths in the Gaza Strip. Bruttin also points the finger at organised crime in Mexico and Latin America.
