Forbidden Stories
Forbidden Stories is a non-profit investigative journalism organization based in Paris, France, founded in 2017 by Laurent Richard. Operating under the legal name "Freedom Voices Network," it is recognized as a press service by French authorities. The organization works with over 300 journalists and 110 media outlets worldwide to continue investigations initiated by reporters facing threats, imprisonment, or assassination. The mission of Forbidden Stories is to protect press freedom by ensuring that the work of threatened journalists remains accessible. It offers key services such as investigative continuity through the SafeBox Network, which allows journalists to securely store and share sensitive materials. The organization also coordinates international media consortia for collaborative journalism and produces documentaries through its subsidiary, Forbidden Films. Notable projects include the Daphne Project, which investigated corruption in Malta, and the Pegasus Project, which exposed global surveillance abuses. All content produced by Forbidden Stories is free to access, maximizing public access to censored information.
