"Authorities in the Central African Republic, the Russian government and the UN, should act swiftly to conduct comprehensive and transparent investigations into these deaths and ensure the killing of journalists, which is the most brutal form of censorship, is not permitted to take place with impunity," CPJ Africa Program Coordinator Angela Quintal is quoted as saying in the release on Wednesday.
The release said the three journalists were working on assignment for The Investigations Management Centre (TsUR).
The Central African Republic has been suffering from sectarian clashes between the Muslims and the Christians since the 2013 coup, when the Muslim Seleka rebels seized control over the country, overthrowing then President Francois Bozize, provoking a backlash from the Christian militia.
