Journalist Patricia Evangelista condemns media killings in Gaza in Frankfurt Book Fair talk
Investigative journalist Patricia Evangelista condemned the killings of journalists in Gaza during a forum at the Frankfurt Book Fair, emphasizing that targeting media workers is a war crime.
She stated that the crime of killing a journalist transcends national borders and urged institutions championing free speech to condemn such acts.
Evangelista read excerpts from three journalists who covered the war in Gaza, including Anas Al-Sharif, who was killed in a "targeted Israeli attack."
Al-Sharif wrote, "This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice."
He was one of over 240 journalists and media workers killed in Palestine, which the International Federation of Journalists called "the deadliest period in the history of journalism."
Evangelista, known for her work covering the Philippines' drug war, authored the book "Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country."
