Carson (D-IN-7) 05/11/2023: Twitter thread – “One year ago today, Shireen Abu Akleh was killed performing one of the core tenets of our democracy: a free, independent press. Today, her friends, family, and colleagues are still searching for answers. That's why I will be reintroducing the #JusticeforShireen Act to require a report on Shireen's death to Congress and whether any U.S. funds or weapons were used in her killing. It's also why I'm reintroducing the Justice for Journalists Act, which would mandate an investigation into all non-natural death of U.S. journalists working abroad. No American journalist should ever fear retaliation, imprisonment or death for simply doing their jobs. As we acknowledge this somber occasion, I renew my calls to action. We must pass the Justice for Shireen Act and the Justice for Journalists Act to protect journalism at home and abroad. Together, we can honor Shireen's life and legacy, and preserve freedom of the press for generations to come.”
