Journalist Harmony Pondy-Nyaga was forcibly removed by police while filming an environmental protest in Paris.

Journalists Lisa Noyal and Rémi-Kenzo Pagès were restricted from questioning Mayor of Aubervilliers, Karine Francelet regarding a demolition project in her region of jurisdiction. Francelet’s security team threatened legal action and destroyed the journalists’ property for merely attempting to do their job. This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. The journalists have also been previously discouraged from pursuing the story and the constant attempts to silence the noise around the issue now appears extremely concerning.

Journalists and media outlets are protesting the new bill proposed by Macron’s government that bans publishing police images. The Coalition For Women In Journalism joins the concerned journalists and media outlets in condemning this bill.
