100 days since the illegal detention in Russia of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and 300 weeks since the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola said that the European Parliament is committed for the right legislation to protect journalists.
We are also marking 100 days since the illegal detention in Russia of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. As we have done since his capture, let me reiterate once again our solidarity, our support and our determination to see him freed immediately.
In the next days, we will also mark 300 weeks since the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia. This House will continue to call for justice to be served.
Being a journalist takes courage - but this Parliament is committed to ensuring that we have the right legislation in place to make sure people should not be forced to be brave to do it. That is our commitment.
