UNESCO CHIEF CALLS ON PHILIPPINES TO INVESTIGATE DOUBLE MURDER OF JOURNALISTS
New York, Aug 2 2013 10:00AM
The head of the United Nations agency tasked with protecting press
freedom today condemned the murder of two Filipino journalists and
called on the country's authorities to investigate the crime and
prosecute the perpetrators.

According to media and police reports, on 30 July journalists Richard
Kho and Bonifacio Loreto were shot several times by two assailants on
motorcycles as they talked in front of a convenience store in the
Quezon City neighbourhood of Manila.

"The murders of Richard Kho and Bonifacio Loreto must not go
unpunished," <"http://www.unesco.org/new/en/media-services/single-view/news/director_general_urges_philippine_authorities_to_investigate_double_journalist_murder_in_manila/back/18256/">said
the Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO), Irina Bokova.

"I urge the authorities in the Philippines to do their utmost to bring
those responsible for this crime to justice."

Both Mr. Kho and Mr. Loreto were columnists for the Aksyon Ngayon, a
weekly tabloid newspaper.

"The murder of a journalist is a direct attack against the basic right
of freedom of expression, and society's right to access information,"
Ms. Bokova said. "It requires a swift response to show those who would
use fear and violence to silence the media that such acts will not be
tolerated."
