Nepal
In Nepal we are active with the regional project ´Covering and investigating attacks against journalists in South Asia: a Cross-Border cooperation´.
This project is the first time that media organisations in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Nepal are coming together to report about the killings, attacks, harassment, and intimidation of journalists in these South Asian countries. Some of the collaborating news organisations are: The Daily Star in Bangladesh, The Week-Malayala Manorama in India, Dawn in Pakistan, as well as Nagarik (Nepali) and myRepublica (English) in Nepal.
Free Press Unlimited supports the International Press Institute (IPI) in this project with funding, knowledge and advocacy. The project is partially supported by UNESCO’s Global Media Defence Fund, a multi-partner trust fund that supports investigative journalism contributing to tackle impunity for crimes against journalists.
