More than a dozen South African journalists targeted as anti-migrant deadline looms
CPJ and seven other press freedom groups have called on March and March to end unlawful action, stop threatening journalists, and reject conduct that could expose journalists to intimidation or violence. The coalition also called on authorities to protect foreign nationals and journalists, ensure reporters can work safely and without interference, and hold those responsible for press freedom violations to account.
