Freedom of the press

Today is the World day for press freedom. Help honour it, please. It is needed, as journalists are increasingly under threat and pressure.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has a special report for today on their webpage.

This Freedom House report on press freedom in Iran is also relevant to today's theme.

A few words also today to mention Alan Johnston, 52 days into his disappearance at gunpoint in Gaza. See also the webpage put up for the campaign to free him.
