🔴 Sous le règne du président Xi Jinping, le Parti communiste chinois a drastiquement accru son contrôle sur les journalistes. Lisez l''enquête RSF qui révèle l’ampleur de la répression du régime contre le droit à l'information.
rsf.org/fr/rapports/un…
#1 ▶️ Les journalistes contraints à devenir des porte-voix du parti.
Pour obtenir leur carte de presse, les journalistes doivent télécharger l’appli "Étudier Xi, renforcer le pays" et devront bientôt suivre des cours sur la "pensée Xi". Lire le rapport : bit.ly/3EN2OJf
#2 ▶️ La plus grande prison de journalistes au monde.
Le régime détient actuellement 127 #journalistes. Enquêter sur un sujet tabou peut valoir des années de détention dans des prisons insalubres, où les mauvais traitements peuvent entraîner la mort.
#3 ▶️ Les correspondants sur liste noire.
Avec le chantage au visa, la Chine a forcé 18 correspondants à partir en 2020. Trois reporters étrangers d’origine chinoise, Gui Minhai, Yang Hengjun & Cheng Lei, sont détenus pour "espionnage". Lire le rapport : bit.ly/3EN2OJf
#4 ▶️ La crise de #COVID19, prétexte idéal pour intensifier la répression.
Au moins 10 journalistes et commentateurs en ligne ont été arrêtés en 2020 pour avoir rendu compte de la réalité de la situation de l'épidémie à Wuhan, dont #ZhangZhan & #FangBin, toujours détenus.
#5 ▶️ Blocus médiatique au #Xinjiang.
Depuis 2016, le régime mène une campagne de répression des #Ouïghours "contre le terrorisme". 71 journalistes ouïghours sont en détention, soit plus de la moitié des journalistes emprisonnés en Chine. Lire le rapport : bit.ly/3EN2OJf
#6 ▶️ La prolifération des lignes rouges.
Très peu de sujets échappent désormais à la censure, qu’il s’agisse de questions habituellement jugées sensibles (Tibet, Taiwan, corruption...) ou bien de catastrophes naturelles, du mouvement #MeToo ou encore de politiques financières.
#7 ▶️ À #HongKong, le spectre de la loi de sécurité nationale.
Volontairement floue, cette loi imposée en 2020 par la Chine a entraîné la répression de 12 journalistes & défenseurs de la #libertédelapresse, qui risquent la prison à vie. Lire le rapport : bit.ly/3EN2OJf
#8 ▶️ Carrie Lam, marionnette du régime chinois.
Pour complaire à Pékin, la cheffe de l’exécutif hongkongais, Carrie Lam, a mis fin à l'existence du plus grand média d’opposition du territoire #AppleDaily & a orchestré la censure du média public Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
#9 ▶️ CGTN diffuse encore sa propagande.
La chaîne d'État a perdu sa licence au🇬🇧en 2021 après avoir diffusé des aveux forcés dont ceux de l’éditeur #GuiMinhai & du reporter #PeterHumphrey, mais diffuse encore sa propagande dans le monde. Lire le rapport : bit.ly/3EN2OJf
#10 ▶️ Les ambassades contre la #libertédelapresse.
Les missions diplomatiques chinoises constituent une autre source de pression sur la liberté de la presse dans les démocraties. Lu Shaye, ambassadeur de Chine à Paris, est tristement célèbre pour ses diatribes contre les médias.

🔴 Under President Xi Jinping’s rule, the Chinese Communist Party has drastically increased its control over journalists. Read RSF’s investigative report “The Great Leap Backwards of Journalism in #China”.
rsf.org/en/reports/unp…
#1 ▶️ Journalists forced to be the Party’s mouthpiece.
To receive their press cards, journalists already have to download the “Study Xi, Strengthen the Country” propaganda app that can collect their data, and will soon have an annual 90-hour training on “Xi Jinping Thought”.
#2 ▶️ The world’s biggest captor of journalists.
127 #journalists are currently detained by the regime. Investigating a “sensitive” topic can result in years of detention in unsanitary prisons, where ill-treatment can lead to death. Read the report here: bit.ly/3GhdEau

THREAD
We have no idea what you have been doing in your home offices over the past ten months.
This is what we have done, among a few other things: Journalismtrustinitiative.org #journalismtrustinitiative #NOTHINGTOHIDE
1/ JTI is a one-of-a-kind tool for journalism.
#Transparency is the way news media can get the reward they deserve.
To regain the competitive advantage over pseudo-journalism.
To detox our information space by pushing the good, to drive out the bad.
#journalismtrustinitiative
2/ From today on, news media outlets can use the jti:app to check, disclose & promote compliance of their editorial processes with best practices of the trade.
And to turn investments into ethics and professionalism into a tangible asset.

Ahead of the start of the hearing, RSF along with @StellaMoris1, attempted to deliver the petition at 10 Downing Street calling for the #UK authorities not to extradite #Assange to the #US. Unfortunately, 10 Downing Street refused to accept it.
#FreeAssange
As his extradition hearing resumes, we call yet again for Julian Assange to be immediately released, the charges against him dropped, and for him to not be extradited to the #UnitedStates.

#DontExtraditeAssange
We fully believe the case against him is connected to his contributions to public interest reporting, and his prosecution has extremely worrying implications for press freedom and the protection of journalistic sources internationally.

🔴 #RSF ​is mobilised this morning in support of Julian #Assange, in front of #Woolwich court in London where his trial begins in a few hours. #FreeAssange #live
In retaliation for his role facilitating major revelations in the international media about how the US conducted its wars, #Assange is facing 18 charges in the US, including 17 under the Espionage Act. If extradited to the USA he could be sentenced to up to 175
years in prison.
#RSF urges the UK government to prioritise the principles of freedom of expression and the defence of journalism in its treatment of Assange, and to act in accordance with UK law and the country’s international human rights obligations. #FreeAssange
