Reporters without Borders, the Committee to Protect Journalists, 60 per Daphne, the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom and PEN International laid flowers and candles and left messages in front of the court building in memory of Daphne Caruana Galizia and demanding justice for her as a journalist killed in the line of duty.
