We asked
@GuyMettan, the President of the Swiss Press Club, to tell us who is sponsoring the event. He says it is "not sponsored by anybody" and that the "initiative comes from various people". He has not responded since we asked for further clarification.Näytä tämä ketju -
It is deeply, deeply concerning that a body such as the Swiss Press Club, which should be championing accuracy and integrity in journalism, is helping to promote individuals working to muddy the truth on Syria.

The campaign to smear the White Helmets as “terrorists” makes it easier for those committing war crimes to bury the truth. In the last week alone, 4 White Helmets were killed saving lives and bearing witness to the bombs that continue to fall. Over 200 have been killed to date.

We are calling on the
@genevapressclub to (1) clarify who is behind organising the event, and (2) to cancel it.Näytä tämä ketju -

It is almost as if the campaign aims to stamp out freedom of speech wherever it is found.

Free speech is necessary if the truth is to be established; people should not be blocked, hounded or intimidated into silence.
