During a global health pandemic, when journalism is more important than ever, governments around the world are imprisoning a record number of journalists, 274, dozens on #FakeNews charges, most on anti-state and terrorism charges & many without charges cpj.org/reports/2020/1…
This is the 5th consecutive year of record highs with #China #Turkey #Egypt and #SaudiArabia once again topping this ignoble list of the world's leading jailers of journalists. In Iran, 15 journalists were imprisoned on Dec 1, and on Dec 12 one of them #Roohollah_Zam was executed
Thirty-six journalists (13%) of those in prison are female. Some covered women’s rights in #Iran #SaudiArabia others while covering protests in #Belarus. Although women may be underrepresented among journalists in jail, they're overrepresented in experiencing online harassment.
