Government should speed up the investigation into the killing of seven journalists in South Sudan, the media stakeholders request during two-day conference in Juba.
The appeal aims at ending impunity on crimes against journalists indicated in the global impunity index.
The media stakeholders also ask for removal of defamation from criminal offences in 2013 Media Authority Act.
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization sponsored the conference, co-chaired by South Sudan Union of Journalists and Community Empowerment for Progress Organization.
