The Observatory, managed by the Afghanistan Journalists Center (AFJC), serves as a comprehensive platform providing timely and accurate information on the tragic killings of journalists and media professionals in Afghanistan. We meticulously document cases where the deaths can be directly attributed to their journalistic pursuits or their involvement in the media industry.

AFJC diligently verifies each case to ensure that the victims' demise is a direct result of their journalistic activities or their affiliation with the media sector.
