Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Phnom Penh (Reuter) - Khmer Rouge guerrillas yesterday released without conditions 11 United Nations peace-keepers they had kidnapped and threatened with execution, a UN spokesman said. The confrontation was the most serious yet between UN personnel and the guerrillas, who are refusing to implement a peace agreement for Cambodia signed last year.

The 11 UN personnel were in good health and unharmed after their two-day ordeal, a UN spokesman said.
