In Syria, 211 journalists killed in conflict that began six years ago

A total of 211 journalists and citizen journalists have been killed in the course of Syria’s civil war, which began with a wave of protests exactly six years ago. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) urges all parties to the conflict to protect the journalists who cover it on the ground.

Syria has for years been the world’s deadliest country for journalists and citizen journalists, who are caught between the Assad regime and its allies, Islamic State and many other radical Jihadi groups, and the Kurdish forces.

Acts of intimidation, arrests, kidnappings and murders are all frequent and constitute a gruesome tableau.
