#TyrantoftheYear: Vote for Andrés Manuel López Obrador! A messy tangle of narco-politics, organised crime, corruption & impunity makes Mexico one of the most dangerous places to be a journalist outside a warzone. #FreedomOfExpression indexoncensorship.org/2022/12/who-is…

#Breaking: Toomaj Salehi, a rapper known for his vocal support of the Woman Life Freedom movement & Index's arts award winner in 2023, has been sentenced to death in Iran. To face a death sentence for singing about human rights is the most grotesque affront to justice #FreeToomaj

We are appalled to learn that an @AllianceLGB conference in London was closed down last Friday after hundreds of insects were released into the auditorium. The protest was designed to shut down debate and to silence gender-critical voices.

The arrest of Graham Linehan by armed officers at the airport, apparently over comments he made on X, is very troubling. Whatever one may think about his posts it's hard to see how such a heavy-handed response is justified or proportionate.

Index are very concerned about a proposal in Hong Kong to allow the police to be in charge of what media accreditation is recognised. This is a huge overreach of police power. It will effectively restrict media freedom and strip people of this fundamental right.
