Further information
On 16 October 2017, as Daphne Caruana Galizia drove away from her family home in Bidnija, a bomb placed under the seat of her was detonated. She was 53 years old. The last words she wrote were “there are crooks everywhere. The situation is desperate.”
Five years since her brutal murder, the Maltese authorities have yet to prosecute all those involved in planning and carrying out the attack. At the same time, the Maltese authorities have yet to follow up with the anti-corruption recommendations by the Board of the public inquiry into the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia. The recent publication by the Maltese government of its legislative proposals concerning the media sector and certain restrictions on the use of SLAPPs is a step in the right direction. However, Council of Europe commissioner for human rights Dunja Mijatović urged the Maltese authorities to secure public consultation. We support this call to include civil society when deciding and implementing media sector reform.
