Ensure justice to journalists

Nepal has failed to acknowledge and commit to implementing the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists.

The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists—marked on November 2 every year—commemorates journalists who have been murdered, forcefully disappeared and faced violence for reporting news. The United Nations in 2013 announced this day to be observed globally in response to the continuous lobbying of the organisations working for freedom of expression in commemoration of the deadly attack and killing of 32 mediapersons and journalists named Ampatuan Massacre (also known as the Maguindanao Massacre) in the Philippines in 2009.
