IFJ Killed List 1991–1999

IFJ Killed List 1991–1999 (Registered Mail Sent to PFJA)

This page presents the complete International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) Killed List for the years 1991 to 1999, a historic record documenting the journalists, media workers, and press staff who lost their lives in the line of duty. The compilation was formally sent via registered mail to the Pakistan Freelance Journalists Association (PFJA) as part of IFJ’s global campaign to highlight the dangers faced by journalists and the urgent need to strengthen press freedom and safety mechanisms worldwide.

Covering nearly a decade of conflict zones, political turmoil, civil unrest, and targeted attacks, the IFJ Killed List provides verified details about every media worker who was murdered, assassinated, caught in crossfire, or died while performing professional responsibilities. This period includes some of the deadliest years for journalism, marked by wars in the Balkans, crises in Africa, political violence in Latin America, and persistent threats across Asia.

The Pakistan Freelance Journalists Association (PFJA) received this detailed register to support its advocacy for journalist protection in Pakistan and beyond, ensuring that the sacrifices of fallen media workers are acknowledged, documented, and remembered. The list stands as a solemn reminder of the risks journalists face in pursuit of truth, and the essential duty of media organizations to defend press freedom and human rights.
