2013 Safety of Journalists new article content ...

As in 2012, the first journalist was killed in Syria as a result of the ongoing Syrian civil war. Syria was the deadliest country in 2012 and that trend continued in 2013. By April 2013, the United Nations estimated that since March 2011 93,901 people had died and of those 6,561 were children.[1]

The problem of impunity continues to be a problem in nations with the largest number of killings of journalists in most recent years, such as Pakistan,[2] Mexico[3] and Somalia. In Somalia, Radio Shabelle was particularly vulnerable to the repeated killings of its journalists[4]

The following excerpt from Voisin was sent one day before his injury in Syria:

The artillery fires almost every 20 minutes and the ground often trembles. The problem is that I think that these are blind fires and their cannons are strong enough to cover about 20 kilometers. There aren't many direct combats. The guys would need about $20 U.S. worth of munitions for two-four hour battles. Therefore, their battles are shorter. During the day, nothing happens. I even wonder how they expect to win this war. This only confirms my fears that this war will last a long time.[30]
