Malta: Caruana Galizia inquiry board proposes police unit to protect journalists

A board of inquiry appointed to investigate the circumstances leading to the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, has called for the appointment of a police unit entrusted with protecting journalists from intimidation.

It called for the consideration of a constitutional amendment that recognises free journalism as “a pillar of a democratic society” and the obligation of the State to protect it.
