PFF believes that free press is a key component in any democracy and any moves to keep public information out of the public domain is a threat to the human rights of citizens.

Prime Minister Sogavare has given his assurance that his government respects the role of the media in Solomon Islands, now I call on him to put his words into action! Open your doors and let's work for Solomon Islands!

Journalists & social media bloggers are amongst #HumanRights defenders in the Pacific subjected to online threats,trolling,cyber-bullying,doxing,harassment &smear campaigns. Some countries have attempted 2 silence online speech and limit information flows&expression #PressFreedom

📢 #WorldPressFreedomDay Freedom of expression, right to peaceful assembly, association, right to information and participation are not fully in place in all Pacific Island Countries. Restrictions on these freedoms hinder the work of journalists & other human rights defenders.
The Pacific Freedom Forum (PFF) is pleased to announce its new Chair, Robert Iroga of the Solomon Islands.
Iroga, the former co-chair for Melanesia, takes up the leadership role from outgoing Chair @carreondet who will continue to serve as Micronesia Co-Chair.

Today is World Press Freedom Day.
It’s also World Tuna Day.
Like tuna, the free press in the Pacific is:
- Great for you
- Consumed by all
- Sometimes over-processed
- Taken for granted
- Hunted relentlessly
- Dying
"It's our job as journalists to make sure that we are accurate in what we report and that we hold those in power accountable." - Monica Miller, Veteran Journalist and @ForumPacific Co-Chair (Polynesia)
