Before we flood the Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) timeline with highlights of the incredible #Night4Rights 2024… a sneak peek at today’s post-gala treat for JHR staff: a one-on-one with our keynote speaker Dmitry Muratov. Mr Muratov was keen to hear firsthand insights from our staff on the impact of the Russian state’s actions in their countries of origin, from Mali, to Nepal, to Afghanistan.
