Impunity Project Works To Solve Crimes Against Journalists

The Impunity Project was created to end impunity for attacks against journalists in the Americas. The Inter-American Press Association is one of very few organizations making this work one of its main agendas. Over the past 18 years there have been 299 journalists murdered in the Americas. Since the start of the Impunity Project, the IAPA has deeply investigated 57 murder cases. There have been 63 sentences in 25 of those cases. The number of jail sentences for crimes against journalists in the Americas has more than doubled because of the IAPA effort.
