=========================
Commemorates
*WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY*. — May 3rd
“A Free Press, A Just Society.”
Freedom of the press is not just a privilege — it is the backbone of democracy, accountability, and the rule of law.
*Today, we recognize the courage of journalists who speak truth to power, often in the face of intimidation, censorship, and risk.*
As law students and future defenders of justice, we reaffirm our commitment to:
• Upholding freedom of expression
• Defending fundamental human rights
• Promoting transparency and accountability.
📢 Without a free press, there can be no true democracy.
Happy World Press Freedom Day!
