Attacks

A grim year for journalists

The 2021 press freedom index released recently by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) makes for grim reading. The report reveals that 488 journalists were detained in 2021 – an increase of 20 per cent compared to the previous year – while a total of 46 were killed and 65 held hostage. Of those detained, 60 were women (33 per cent higher than 2020).

Attacks sound death knell for BJP: Abhishek

“This is the beginning of the end of Biplab Deb’s rule in Tripura. It is a fight between the people of Tripura and the BJP. I have come twice in this week to Tripura and the way the BJP goons attacked us shows there is no democracy in Tripura.”

In the crosshairs

First, that while France and Austria have faced attacks in recent days, Western Europe must consider itself in the crosshairs of terrorism for these acts target neither individuals nor governments, but a way of life.
