A court in the Philippines today issues its verdict in the Maguindanao massacre case, in which over 100 people including members of the powerful Ampatuan family are accused of ordering and carrying out a deadly attack. In 2009, attackers murder 58 people, including 32 journalists, in the single deadliest event for the press CPJ has recorded. The slow road to justice in the case means the Philippines appears on CPJ's annual impunity index of countries where journalists are slain and the killers go free. (Photo: AP/Aaron Favila)
