The Director-General of UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay, today condemned the killing of three journalists: Naveen Nischal, Vijay Singh, and Sandeep Sharma in India.

“I firmly condemn the killing of Naveen Nischal, Vijay Singh and Sandeep Sharma,” the Director-General said. “The public relies on journalists to provide them with information so that they can make informed decisions. An independent, pluralistic and free press is a cornerstone of democracy.”
