📍Our SafeBox team is at the foot of the Himalayas. In Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, we partnered with @MediaActionNpl to organize a SafeBox training workshop for 16 Indian and Nepali journalists on December 1 and 2. Investigative journalists in India and Nepal who report on environment issues, human rights violations, refugees, organized crime, and other public-interest issues face increasing threats, harassment, unjustified legal pressure, and even death threats. By securing their information with us, they warn their enemies that other journalists have their back if something happens to them.
