Pavel Sheremet

Sheremet is the kind of journalist whose name should never be allowed to fade. Born in Minsk, he was jailed by the Belarusian government in 1997, a case so charged it became an international incident, and he won the CPJ International Press Freedom Award in 1999. Whenever I think of him I come back to his death in a 2016 car bombing in Kyiv. He worked in places where telling the truth could cost a life, and he refused to bend to power until the end. The questions he pressed still matter, and his courage quietly shames anyone who takes press freedom for granted.
