Reporters Without Borders: record number of journalists detained in the world

by admin

PARIS – There are 488 information workers who are currently imprisoned in prisons around the world because of their work. More than any estimate ever recorded since Reporters Without Borders began collecting data on the persecution of journalists five years ago.

On the other hand, the numbers on killings are of opposite sign: 46, the lowest in the same amount of time. This, explains a Reporters Without Borders dossier published in Paris, is mainly due to the relative stabilization of the Middle East in recent months. Conversely, the number of imprisonments increased by 20 percent in one year due to tensions in Myanmar, Hong Kong and Belarus.

It also stands out that never so many women have been imprisoned, 60. China is the country that has the largest number of reporters in its prisons, 127, and in this regard the finger is pointed above all on the ongoing crisis in Hong Kong with the related round of votes in the press. Followed by Myanmar (53), Vietnam (43), Belarus (32) and Saudi Arabia (31).
