Slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered in October of 2017 shortly after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, tops the November ranking of the One Free Press Coalition’s “10 Most Urgent” list of press freedom cases. The “10 Most Urgent” list, issued today by a united group of pre-eminent editors and publishers, spotlights journalists whose press freedoms are being suppressed or whose cases are seeking justice.

Published this morning at www.onefreepresscoalition.com and by all Coalition members, the 21st 10 Most Urgent list includes the following journalists, ranked in order of urgency:
