The European Centre for Press and Media Freedom with fifteen other campaign groups is calling on the European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker to protect journalists against rising deadly threats. It follows the murders of Jàn Kuciak and his fiancée at their home. Jàn Kuciak was a data journalist working for the news website Aktuality.sk in Slovakia and investigating alleged corruption involving EU funds. Thier deaths come only a few months after the assassination by car bomb of Maltese investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia.
