Today, ICIJ is releasing its final installment of #PandoraPapers data, adding information from seven offshore providers headquartered in Hong Kong, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Switzerland and Dubai to the #OffshoreLeaks Database. #WPFD 🧵bit.ly/3kyqvwb
In total, the #OffshoreLeaks Database now boasts information on more than three-quarters of a million people and companies behind secret offshore structures with links to more than 200 countries and territories, spanning five different major leaks. bit.ly/3kyqvwb
ICIJ is publishing this information in the public interest and we’re thrilled to make this data freely available to all on #WorldPressFreedomDay, as the #OffshoreLeaks Database has become an essential tool in the global fight to dismantle offshore secrecy. bit.ly/3kyqvwb

Good morning!

Next month is #WPFD22

If you’re at #IJF22, please add your voice to @amnesty’s #WPFD call to #FreeJulianAssange

I’ll be filming vox pops in Perugia

Whistleblowers, publishers & journalists are vital in holding govts to account. #Assange
“Perugia is great. The #IJF22 is great but let’s not forget about Julian Assange”

Today at the @journalismfest, we’d like to ask you a simple yes/no question

“Do you think that the US government’s indictment poses a grave threat to press freedom?” WPFD22
Here at the @journalismfest in Perugia, we are giving each journalist an Easter egg & asking them if they think that the US government’s attempt to “eggs-tradite” #JulianAssange poses a grave threat to press freedom

Do far the answer has been a unanimous “yes”!

1/. #WorldPressFreedomDay  is on 3 May

In 2016, @amnesty, @RSF_en, @article19europe, @hrw, @IndexCensorship, @CPJ_Eurasia & set up the @FreeTurkeyMedia campaign

For 5 years, journalists around the world have shown solidarity for their jailed colleagues.
2/. "Journalists who used to observe court cases from the press gallery, now watch them from the dock"

Some of #Turkey's most respected journalists – equivalents of @camanpour @mehdirhasan @andersoncooper - are exiled, facing investigations or in jail. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
3/. Stifling a nation’s media is a willful act of self-harm that we, as journalists, will keep writing about 'til the day they take away our pens

Let's mobilize for Turkish journos like we did when 3 @AlJazeera journos were jailed in Egypt in 2013 #WPFD2021 #WorldPressFreedomDay
