Journalist Jagendra Singh used a Facebook page to expose corruption in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. Though he posted under a pseudonym, he was quickly found and burned alive by police, allegedly on the order of the minister accused. He died a week later from his injuries. This is not the first case of a journalist being attacked in this state. Amnesty International had urged the local government to launch an official investigation,
and now five policemen and a politician have been brought up on murder
charges. What can Facebook or other companies do to help these
journalists report on corruption in a safe manner?
Moral: If you would like to expose the truth and safeguard your identity whistle blower solutions must be implemented by every journalist committee to expose the real happening around you.
