UNESCO chief condemns killing of Indian journalist

2011-06-17 11:48:50 GMT+7 (ICT)

UNITED NATIONS (BNO NEWS) -- The United Nations (UN) on Thursday deplored the murder of an Indian journalist whose killing is believed to be linked to his reporting about the oil mafia in the western city of Mumbai.

Jyotirmoy Dey, a senior journalist and special investigations editor of the daily newspaper Midday, was shot dead on Saturday as he was riding his motorcycle in a suburb of Mumbai, according to the International Federation of Journalists. The veteran Mumbai crime reporter had recently published articles about the city's oil mafia.

Irina Bokova, the Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), condemned Dey's murder, urging authorities to investigate the crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.

"This is vital if journalists are to meet their duty to serve as watchdogs reporting professionally on the work of government, civil society and business," Bokova said. "Journalists need to be supported as they ensure that informed citizens are able to take an active part in society."
