The Kabul Tribune (KT) — UN Secretary-General António Guterres said all freedoms depend on press freedom, warning that without it there can be no human rights, sustainable development or peace.

Marking World Press Freedom Day, he urged the protection of journalists’ rights and called for building a world where truth and those who report it are safe.

World Press Freedom Day is observed annually on May 3 to highlight the importance of a free and independent press and to remind governments of their duty to uphold freedom of expression.
