Amal Clooney Appointed Special Envoy on Media Freedom

International human rights lawyer Amal Clooney has been hired as a special envoy on media freedom as part of a campaign to highlight assaults and restrictions on journalists around the world.

She will aim to make international responses to attacks on media freedoms more effective through new legal initiatives.

Last year, she represented journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who were sentenced to seven years in prison in Myanmar. 2018 was the deadliest year yet for journalists, with 99 killed, 348 detained and 80 taken hostage. Attacks have started to spread to Europe, including Malta, Slovakia and Bulgaria.
