(World News Austria)

Members of the International Press Institute (IPI) today urged Germany and other EU member states, as well as the EU itself, to embrace their role as defenders of human rights globally, including the rights to freedom of expression and the press, amid troubling times for media freedom. The members made the call in a resolution adopted at their 66th annual General Assembly during the IPI World Congress in Hamburg, Germany. They also called for an end to pressure on independent media in Egypt, Ethiopia, Turkey and Zambia, and for a release of journalists imprisoned in the former three countries.
