Shocking. @vivekagnihotri was to hold a presser at the Foreign Correspondents Club, invites were sent. Then he gets a call telling him the event has been cancelled as many journalists threatened to quit the club. Reminder: Today is Press Freedom Day. https://t.co/Oey6p3SUpZ

As today marks World Press Freedom Day, let's remember Gazan video journalist and photographer Yaser Murtaja, who was killed by Israeli snipers despite wearing a vest marked ‘PRESS’, while covering The Great March of Return on April 6, 2018. Rest in power! https://t.co/hLy9XKLikW

Today is World Press Freedom Day. And the award-winning journalist Julian #Assange is in a max security jail in the UK, awaiting extradition to the United States for the "crime" of revealing evidence of war crimes. Free the press, free Assange now. #JournalistsSpeakUpForAssange https://t.co/QPenrOHgXf

Today, on World Press Freedom Day Julian #Assange awaits a decision from @pritipatel on his extradition. If the @EU_Commission and every single one of the political groups in the @Europarl_EN do not raise the call for the release of Julian Assange, it makes a mockery of this day. https://t.co/oBVHNFUnGk

Today is International Press Freedom Day and as a former reporter, I would like to call for the freedom of media. Mr. Tihanouski, a Belarusian blogger, dared to stand for public office. He should be freed now. #freemedia #freeTihanouski https://t.co/mwP0J590Gc

Today is World Press Freedom Day. Julian Assange remains locked up in a maximum security prison, fighting extradition to a country that plotted to kill him. The UK govt will mark the day, and then monitor social media as people expose its rank hypocrisy. https://t.co/MjGXr5mb1A
