The Philippines has remained 3rd for the fourth straight year in a global index for impunity, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an international press freedom organization. On Thursday, May 2, the CPJ released its 2013 Impunity Index, which lists countries where journalists are killed regularly and those murders have remained unsolved. The Philippines has remained high on the Impunity Index due to the Maguindanao Massacre in 2009. As the CPJ report explains, Philippine police “have yet to make headway in the prosecution of dozens of suspects in a politically motivated massacre in Maguindanao province that claimed the lives of more than 50 people, including 32 journalists and media workers, in 2009.”
