Journalists at the Philippines-based Rappler news website have been on standby since their publication was shut down on 11 January. Since the country’s Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) revoked the publication’s license, journalists – both at Rappler and around the globe – have come together to fight for press freedom.

The killing of a radio broadcaster in the Philippines has dealt another blow to wavering press freedom in the country. Samuel Oliverio was attacked on 23 May while driving his motorcycle with his wife in Digos city in the south of the country.
