About the event

Palestinian journalists have been facing unspeakable threats and dangers in the midst of the ongoing genocide perpetrated by lsrael.

143 Palestinian journalists have been killed since Oct 2023. Such brutal and unprecedented silencing of journalists is indicative of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy.

143 journalists killed in 8 months with little to no acknowledgement from our Australian news and media, who continue to dehumanise and demonise the Palestinian people and their supporters. It’s immoral, unethical and shameful. It has caused irreparable damage in the public’s trust in the media’s ability and willingness to provide unbiased information and news about our world.

Let’s light up the night in honour of all these brave journalists who have paid the ultimate price for wanting to share the truth with the world.

Please share this invitation with your friends, colleagues, family and community members.
