U.N. Security CouncilFrench journalist Gilles Jacquier of the France two television station was killed in Homs on January 11th. Veteran American reporter Marie Colvin and French free-lance photographer Remi Ochlik sneaked into Syria and, along with a number of other journalists, began to work out of a house that still had electricity and an internet connection in the Baba Amr district of Homs.  
On February 22nd, Syrian artillery targeted that building, and during the intense bombardment that followed, both Colvin and Ochlik were killed.  Three other journalists were injured.
U.N. Security Council resolution 1738 obliges states to ensure the safety of journalists in war zones, because journalists and media centers are neutral and cannot be targets. Nonetheless, the Syrian government is persisting in its bloody policy of censorship and suppression of information.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Syrian government's use of detention and violence against journalists in order to maintain an information black-out.  No amount of effort to stop information from leaking to the outside world will keep the press silent.
