Where the Most Journalists are Killed

Ten people have now been arrested in connection with the killing of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was murdered close to her home in a car bomb attack on October 16 this year. Her death justifiably shocked the country, but on a global scale, the killing of journalists is unfortunately far from a rare occurrence. As new figures from UNESCO show, from 2012 to 2016, there were a total of 530 killed globally. The country seeing the most deaths was Syria, with 86.
