On Wednesday, Nobel laureate @Maria_Ressa and barrister #AmalClooney joined in conversation with CPJ President Jodie Ginsberg at CPJ headquarters in New York City. Clooney started off the night by introducing Ressa as “both a Nobel laureate and a convicted criminal.” Ressa was only able to be in New York because four courts in the #Philippines granted her permission to. The three press freedom defenders remarked on the dangerous current era, during which more journalists are being imprisoned than ever before. Amal concluded her remarks by urging Philippines’ President Ferdinand Marcos to pardon Ressa and the prosecutors to drop the charges against her. Swipe right to see more photos from the event.
