Female journalist killed alongside her brother

Women Press Freedom strongly condemns the brutal murder of journalist Hanan Adam and her brother by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Adam, a journalist for the Ministry of Culture and Information in Al-Jazirah state and correspondent for Al-Maidan (the Sudanese Communist Party's newspaper), was killed alongside her brother in their home. This heinous act raises the journalist death toll in Sudan to 15 since the war began in April 2023, including 3 women journalists. Women Press Freedom demands that the RSF be held accountable for the killing of Adam. The violence against journalists must end. Targeting members of the press constitutes a war crime under international law and cannot be tolerated.
