"The Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji, by its Portuguese acronym) and other national and international organizations for press freedom defense have prepared a dossier with reports on the serious situation of insecurity for journalistic coverage in Brazil. This situation was aggravated by the coup movements that, on Jan. 8, organized encampments in barracks and highways, and invaded the headquarters of the three branches of government in Brasilia.

The document, which will be delivered to the federal government on Wed. (Feb. 8, 2023), the one-month anniversary of the attacks, includes a series of requests for measures to mitigate the violence suffered by press professionals.

The press organizations' dossier details the 45 most recent attacks, preserving the identity of the victims."
