International Federation of Journalists Congress Freedom Walk in Dublin
Each held a red carnation to represent the 408 journalists who died in the service of their profession in the past three years
FOR 30 minutes the talking stopped at the IFJ Congress in Dublin this week as delegates marked their respect to colleagues killed while doing their job.
Each held a red carnation to represent the 408 journalists who died in the service of their profession in the past three years.
The Freedom Walk left Dublin Castle, by the Dubh Linn Gardens and through the streets of Dublin in total silence.
It was led by Beth Costa (IFJ General Secretary) and Jim Boumelha (IFJ President) who stopped to lay a wreath at the monument to Veronica Guerin, the Irish crime reporter murdered in Dublin in 1996 by drugs barons.
