## Resource

Three men were acquitted in the 2019 murder of journalist Lyra McKee, shot by a stray bullet during a riot in Northern Ireland — the gunman remains unidentified and uncharged. Her death, which shocked the world and drew global mourning, even helped revive Northern Ireland’s fragile power-sharing government. Despite the verdict, her family and journalism groups demand justice, calling out a culture of silence that lets perpetrators walk free — and insisting that journalists must never be left unprotected.
