Honoring My Press Freedom Heroes

Article 19 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights recognizes freedom of expression as a fundamental human right.  Today the international media community pays tribute to the courage and professionalism of the many journalists and media professionals killed and wounded while carrying out their professional activities.

 

Today, I pay tribute to Williams Gonza, a radio presenter on the Fort Portal station, Life FM, who together with five regular panelists on his show have fought for the past four months for their right to speech, expression and access to the media.
