Silencing the Press, Silencing Democracy
In Suriname, the government is weaponizing defamation lawsuits, violence, and intimidation to stifle journalists and muzzle free speech. The world stays silent—perhaps we're too small for the global stage to care.

Our largest news outlets are under attack, with pages facing deletion. Facebook has become a tool for censorship, with false reports leading to suspended pages. We haven’t received any support, but we refuse to surrender.
