In an unprecedented effort to achieve justice in the killing of journalists, three leading press freedom groups have established a People’s Tribunal to investigate their murders and hold governments accountable.
The Tribunal, a form of grassroots justice, relies on investigations and high-quality legal analysis involving specific cases in three countries, including the case of Lasantha Wickrematunge.
Additionally, the Tribunal seeks to indict the governments of Mexico and Syria as well, for failing to deliver justice for the murders of Miguel Ángel López Velasco and Nabil Al-Sharbaji.
Renowned human rights lawyer Almudena Bernabeu will lead the prosecution for the opening hearing. A keynote address will be delivered by Baroness Helena Kennedy of the Shaws QC, member of the High Level Panel of Legal Experts on Media Freedom.
The opening hearing will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central European Time on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, in The Hague.
This comes after Free Press Unlimited (FPU), Reporters Without Borders (RSF), and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), requested the Permanent People’s Tribunal to convene a People’s Tribunal on the Murder of these Journalists.
