On March 31, CPJ and nine partner organizations wrote to the Secretary General and the Committee of Ministers at the Council of Europe to express concern about government restrictions on the media during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The calls included asking officials to better collaborate with the Council of Europe Journalist Safety Platform, of which CPJ is a partner. This unique tool calls on governments to respond in writing to organizations’ press freedom concerns in Council of Europe Member States.
