Central African Republic: CFWIJ Is Appalled By The Murder Of French Journalist Camille Lepage

26-year-old French photojournalist Camille Lepage was killed in the Central African Republic (CAR), as confirmed by Paris officials. She was reportedly caught in fighting while travelling near the Central African Republic border with Cameroon. Officials say her body was found when French troops stopped a car carrying members of the local anti-balaka militia. Camille’s extraordinary work has been published in the BBC, the Guardian, the Washington Post, Le Monde, the Sunday Times, and Wall Street Journal. According to her website, she also worked for Amnesty International and Medecins Sans Frontieres. The CFWIJ condemns the killing of the journalist and demands law enforcement apprehend the assailants behind this cold-blooded murder. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Camille's family and friends.
