Afghanistan, according to a global survey, is the most dangerous place for journalists. Eight journalists were killed last year. World over, democracy is at stake; so are the journalists. In India, too, death of a journalist is becoming common.
Gouri Lankesh was a victim last year; but her assailants are yet to be traced. We know now that the gun, which was used to kill her was also used to kill another upholder of freedom of speech. The group that wants to throttle free speech has been established but not the killer. A man from the underworld, who represents a Dubai don, was recently convicted of killing a crime reporter from Mumbai. Perhaps, he knew too much. Nobody is comfortable with these investigators.
A photographer was stripped, thrashed, and confined in Kolkata for trying to take photographs of looting of ballot papers during the Panchayat elections.
