The document summarizes the 2016 human rights report on Egypt. It notes that while elections were administered professionally according to the country's laws, freedoms of expression, assembly, and association were constrained. The main human rights issues were excessive use of force by security forces, due process deficiencies, and suppression of civil liberties including restrictions on media and protests. Impunity for security forces was also a problem. Terrorist attacks caused unlawful killings while the military's operations in Sinai led to civilian casualties and property destruction. Forced disappearances increased with hundreds detained without charge.
The Committee to Protect Journalists found that the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide reached a record high of 232 in 2012, surpassing the previous record of 185 in 1996. Turkey, Iran, and China were the three worst jailers, largely imprisoning journalists on vague anti-state charges related to terrorism or dissent. Overall, governments are increasingly using anti-state laws to silence critical voices in the media.
The document discusses Rodrigo Duterte's "war on drugs" in the Philippines and its consequences. It notes that since Duterte took office in 2016, over 12,000 Filipinos have been killed, many by police. Church leaders have condemned the campaign and killings as a humanitarian crisis. Public opinion against the drug war has intensified due to the ongoing deaths.
The document summarizes freedom of expression issues in Malaysia in 2009, focusing on the political crisis in Perak state, restrictions on freedom of assembly, and partisan reporting that exacerbated ethnic and religious tensions. The crisis in Perak involved opposition lawmakers defecting, resulting in the Sultan appointing BN lawmakers to take power before a no-confidence vote could be held. This led to protests that were cracked down on by police. The mainstream media also framed the issues in an ethnically charged manner. Throughout the year, police enforced restrictions on freedom of assembly through arrests of protesters, activists, and journalists covering the events.
The Kyrgyz Republic held parliamentary elections in October 2020 that were marred by accusations of corruption. This led to protests, the resignation of President Jeenbekov, and the interim appointment of Sadyr Japarov as acting president. A new presidential election was then scheduled for January 2021. The report documents several human rights issues in the country including torture by law enforcement, poor prison conditions, restrictions on free expression and media, and impunity for violence against women. While some officials were prosecuted for corruption, widespread impunity remained a problem.

This literature review examines the relationship between mega sporting events and sex trafficking. The review analyzes 13 peer-reviewed research articles that used both qualitative and quantitative methods. The quantitative studies found little evidence of a significant increase in sex work or trafficking related to sporting events. However, the qualitative interviews revealed mixed perspectives from different stakeholders, with some believing events could increase trafficking risks but others thinking media sensationalism exaggerated these risks. In conclusion, while events may increase sex demand temporarily, the data does not definitively link this to sex trafficking. The relationship remains unclear due to limitations in data and differing opinions among experts.
Argentina is a federal constitutional republic led by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The document summarizes key human rights issues in Argentina, including occasional police use of excessive force resulting in deaths, actions that may impair press freedom, and infringements on indigenous peoples' rights. It also notes poor prison conditions, arbitrary arrest and detention, prolonged pretrial detention, concerns about judicial efficiency and independence, official corruption, and other issues. While authorities prosecuted some officials for abuses, others acted with impunity.

Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2016
Burma
Burma has a quasi-parliamentary system of government in which the national parliament selects the president, and constitutional provisions grant one-quarter of national, regional, and state parliamentary seats to active duty military appointees; all other seats are open to elections. The military also has the authority to appoint the ministers of defense, home affairs, and border affairs and assume power indefinitely over all branches of the government should the president declare a national state of emergency. In November 2015 the country held nationwide parliamentary elections that the public widely accepted as a credible reflection of the will of the people. The then opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), chaired by Aung San Suu Kyi, won 390 of 491 contested seats in the bicameral parliament. Parliament elected NLD member U Htin Kyaw as president in March and created the position of State Counsellor for Aung San Suu Kyi in April, cementing her position as the country’s de facto leader.
Civilian authorities did not maintain effective control over the security forces.

Thanks to the political irresponsibility of the PT and its allies in defending the corrupt Lula are contributing to the ascent of the egg of the fascist serpent in Brazil. By acting in this way, the PT and its allies lack the necessary intelligence to realize that the correlation of forces is entirely unfavorable to their pretensions. Insisting on the confrontation with the great majority of Brazilian society means plunging the Country into civil war whose consequences are unpredictable. In addition to having allied themselves with right-wing parties and politicians to govern, the PT and its allies are now contributing to the rise of the extreme right to power either in the 2018 presidential election or through a coup d'état if political radicalization reaches uncontrollable levels.
Hundreds of Hong Kong police officers arrested six current or former senior staff members of the pro-democracy news website Stand News and raided their headquarters. This is the latest crackdown by the Hong Kong government on independent media since implementing the national security law in 2020. Stand News was one of the last openly pro-democracy outlets in Hong Kong. The arrests were made under suspicion of conspiring to publish seditious material but signal further restrictions on freedom of press and expression.
Presentation.. media and challenges of global corruption slideshareMuhammad Ahmad
The document discusses challenges faced by media in exposing corruption globally and domestically. It provides examples of major corruption scandals exposed by media, including Watergate and Absam scandals. Internationally, Panama Papers exposed hidden wealth and tax evasion of world leaders. Domestically, Pakistani media exposed scandals involving politicians, judges and businessmen. However, media faces challenges like lack of resources, censorship, legal hurdles, and influence of powerful interests. International cooperation and protection of whistleblowers and journalists is needed to more effectively combat corruption through investigative reporting.
The document analyzes data from the Community to Protect Journalists (CPJ) on the number of journalists imprisoned around the world. It finds that the worldwide total of journalists in prison reached a 15-year high in 2011, driven largely by increases in Iran and Turkey. Freelance journalists made up about 45% of those imprisoned. The most common charges against jailed journalists were anti-state charges and violations of censorship rules. In some cases, governments used unrelated charges like drug possession to retaliate against critical journalists. For the first time in over a decade, China was not among the leading jailers of journalists, though its total remained consistent. No Cuban journalists were imprisoned as of 2011, after a crackdown earlier in the
The document summarizes the 2011-2012 Russian election protests. It describes how the protests were sparked by allegations of election fraud in Vladimir Putin's reelection. Thousands protested peacefully in Moscow and other cities, demanding free and fair elections. While some reforms were enacted, the protesters' core demands for new elections and political change went unmet. Younger generations played a large role in the movement, hoping to establish greater democracy after the Soviet era.

The Press of India is considered one of the most independent Presses all over the world. But is it really true?
Do we really have a free press in the country?
The document discusses several political and media scandals in India involving sexual harassment and abuse of power. It provides details on scandals such as the Jessica Lal murder case, the Geetika Sharma suicide case involving politician Gopal Kanda, and sexual assault allegations against former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Tehelka founder Tarun Tejpal. It also discusses the challenges around media activism and trials by media in high profile cases.
The document discusses the Philippine Drug War initiated by President Rodrigo Duterte to crackdown on drugs in the country. Duterte vowed to eliminate all drug lords and pushers and told law enforcement to kill drug users if needed. Since the start of the campaign in 2016, over 12,000 Filipinos have been killed, mostly urban poor, with over 2,500 attributed to police. The campaign has faced criticism for human rights violations but has 85% domestic approval.
Pucl statement stop criminalising media - protect journalism- final - 23 ju...sabrangsabrang
The PUCL condemns the criminal charges filed against journalist Supriya Sharma for her reporting on hunger and hardship faced by marginalized communities in Varanasi during the COVID-19 lockdown. The charges against her do not apply to the complaint and appear to be an attempt to harass and silence criticism of the government's response. The PUCL highlights numerous other cases where journalists across India have faced police complaints, arrests, and summons for their COVID-19 reporting or other commentary deemed critical of authorities. The PUCL expresses concern over the growing attacks on press freedom and independence and calls for the media to be allowed to fulfill its democratic role without fear of reprisal.
The document summarizes the spread of anti-democratic practices across Europe and Eurasia in recent years. It notes that incumbent leaders in the region are undermining democratic institutions and norms to consolidate power, often learning from one another. Hungary and Poland have seen the most severe declines, systematically cracking down on the judiciary, media, civil society, and minorities. They have also begun exporting their anti-democratic models and justifications to other countries. Russia too has deepened its autocratic control, leaving democratic governance at its lowest point according to the report's measurements. Overall democracy has deteriorated in most countries covered by the Nations in Transit assessment over the past four years.
1. The document summarizes a report on political violence in Africa from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Dataset (ACLED).
2. It finds that conflict escalated sharply in Egypt in July, with both conflict events and fatalities surpassing previous highs from 2010-2011. Violence has become more militarized on all sides.
3. In Mali, July saw a continued decline in conflict and peaceful elections, though underlying tensions remain, especially in the northern region of Kidal.
This article examines the feminization of journalism in Israel and whether it has improved women's employment status and opportunities. The authors analyze data from international surveys that included Israeli journalists. While the number of women in journalism has increased, the study finds that women remain underrepresented in management roles and are paid less than men. Women have integrated into some news areas like presenting, but their roles and salaries still face inequality. The findings suggest the process of feminization has not fully addressed gender issues in the Israeli labor market and journalism profession.
MARINA PATRICK - Decriminalizing Prostitution in KSMarina Patrick
This document discusses the history and current state of prostitution laws in Kansas. It notes that while prostitution itself is not a major issue, the way it is currently approached and criminalized can negatively impact public health and prostitute safety. Decriminalizing prostitution could help reduce STD transmission by allowing safer working conditions and increase reporting of abuse or trafficking. The document reviews prostitution arrest data in Kansas and correlations between prostitution and STD rates to argue the case for decriminalization.
PARTY POLITICS AND THE FALL OF THE SECOND REPUBLIC IN NIGERIA: A REAPPRAISALJohn1Lorcan
Against the usual narratives which claim that ethnicity, regionalism and religion were sole players in the
fall of the Nigeria’s Second Republic, the paper provides a new perspective on the dynamics that led to the
fall of the Second Republic. In other words, the thrust of the paper is that the major cause of the crises in
most States and the Centre during the Second Republic was unhealthy party politics rather than religious,
regional or ethnic variations in Nigeria. The ugly inter and intra party politics experienced in 1979-1983
were the major factors that led to the fall of the Second Republic in Nigeria. The article stresses the need to
draw better policies and political manifestos that will address the problems facing Nigeria’s party politics,
which is an essential feature of democracy. The study offer useful information to researchers who are
interested in the history of party politics. Its interrogation of the misapplication of party politics in Nigeria,
for example, will enable policy makers and politicians to comprehend the reasons why the Second Republic
in Nigeria failed.
The document summarizes journalists who have gone missing in Mexico between 2005-2012 while doing their work reporting on issues like crime, corruption, and drug cartels. It notes several journalists from newspapers in Mexico who disappeared and were last seen leaving their homes or work after receiving calls. Investigations into their disappearances have not yielded any clear leads. The document indicates the climate of fear among Mexican journalists and self-censorship due to threats from criminal organizations.
For the first time, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has included not only professional
journalists but also citizen journalists and media contributors in the annual round-up’s
overall figures. Until now the three categories were counted separately. The change is
due to the fact that citizen journalists and media contributors are playing a growing role in
the production of news and information, especially in countries with oppressive regimes
and countries at war, where it is hard for professional journalists to operate. As much as
possible, the round-up nonetheless distinguishes professional journalists from the other
categories in its breakdowns, in order to facilitate comparison with previous years.
Three sentences summarizing the key points:
The document provides a summary of journalists killed in 2016, with 74 killed total. The deadliest countries were Syria with 19 killed, Afghanistan with 10, and Mexico with 9. It also outlines safety recommendations for journalists working in high-risk areas and calls for the appointment of a UN journalist protector to help enforce international law protecting journalists.

Mexico has a population of over 119 million, with Spanish as the dominant language. Journalism in Mexico is a dangerous profession, with over 100 media workers killed since 2000. Criminal groups target journalists to silence negative coverage and control the media narrative. Impunity is widespread, with few crimes against journalists ever solved. Translating content into other languages like English helps Mexican newspapers reach a broader audience.
Keynote Column - Aftab Ahmed (Dhaka Tribune) .pdfAbrarFahad10
Print media has played an important role in Bangladesh's history, promoting democracy and holding governments accountable. However, recent laws like the Digital Security Act have suppressed press freedom and led to self-censorship. There are concerns that mainstream media outlets cannot currently publish independent or critical views of the government due to legal risks. As Bangladesh celebrates 50 years of independence, questions remain about the future of press freedom and citizens' rights to free speech in the country.
Power point presentationVIOLENCE AGAINST MEDIA PERSONs17rukaya
The document discusses violence against journalists, including targeted killings in revenge for critical reporting. It notes that such violence goes beyond censorship of a single issue by intimidating colleagues and families as well. This can impede journalists' important role in exposing issues like human rights abuses. Statistics from reports by UNESCO, IMEMC, Reporters Without Borders, and others show that over 120 journalists were killed between 2008-2009, with many targeted while investigating corruption or illegal activities. While conflict areas remain dangerous, the percentage of killings outside of war zones has increased. The document concludes that targeted violence against reporters amounts to a "peacetime war on journalism."
1) The document discusses the role of Chinese journalists in writing internal reports, which provide sensitive information to high-level officials but are not published for the masses. It contrasts two reporters, Wang and Chen, whose investigative work had different outcomes.
2) Wang exposed corruption in 1977 through an internal report but not a news story, while Chen's 2003 news story about a man's death in police custody prompted the revocation of a regulation. The system of internal reports allows journalists to influence policymaking while avoiding mass publication of sensitive topics.
3) Chen's story had wider consequences, including the editor who published it being imprisoned briefly and then charges dropped, showing how internal reports could avoid greater risks or repercussions in some
This document summarizes a research study analyzing factors that influence violence against journalists internationally from 1992 to 2002. The study collected data on journalist killings from six organizations to create a comprehensive dataset. Preliminary analysis found that print journalists were most commonly targeted. Journalists covering politics faced frequent danger. Countries involved in war saw higher rates of journalist fatalities than countries at peace. Authoritarian regimes experienced the fewest journalist killings compared to democratic and mixed-regime countries. Further research on interactions between variables could help protect journalists and pressure governments.
This document summarizes homicides that occurred in Chicago between January and May 2016. It discusses several individual homicides that exemplify broader trends. The number of homicides in 2016 was significantly higher than the previous year. The document suggests this is due to a "Ferguson effect" where police are less proactive due to fears of being filmed or facing lawsuits, and a lack of support from political leaders. It also discusses the disproportionate impact of homicides on African American communities in Chicago.
Ukraine held free and fair elections in 2014 but faced significant human rights issues, including unlawful killings and disappearances related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine against Russian-led forces. The government generally failed to prosecute officials accused of human rights abuses, resulting in impunity. Prisons and detention centers had harsh conditions and reports of torture, and investigations into abuses by Russia in Crimea and eastern Ukraine were incomplete due to lack of control in those areas.
Ukraine's 2017 Human Rights Report discusses several issues, including:
1) Unlawful killings and disappearances related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine between government and Russian-led forces.
2) Torture by police and prison authorities, and reports of torture by both government and Russian-led forces in eastern Ukraine.
3) Harsh and life-threatening prison conditions, including overcrowding, lack of medical care, and physical abuse by guards.
This document provides an introduction and overview of a report on threats facing journalists in Pakistan. It summarizes that at least 42 journalists have been killed in Pakistan in the past decade, with 23 murdered, and not a single murder has been solved or resulted in a conviction. The climate of impunity has led to increasing violence against journalists. The report investigates the killings of two journalists - Wali Khan Babar in Karachi and Mukarram Khan Aatif in tribal areas - and finds threats come from militants, criminals, political and intelligence operatives, and a weak civilian government and justice system vulnerable to political pressure. The climate of threats, intimidation, and manipulation challenges Pakistan's free press.
This document is a report by the Committee to Protect Journalists on the issue of impunity for killings of journalists. It discusses how impunity emboldens those who target journalists and endangers press freedom. While the UN and some countries have acknowledged impunity as a problem, progress in reducing impunity rates has been limited. The report examines factors that allow impunity to thrive in different countries and evaluates steps taken by governments and international organizations to address impunity. It concludes that more political will is needed by states to implement commitments to end impunity in order to make a real impact on violence against journalists.

This document discusses victim typologies in relation to hate crimes. It summarizes five categories of victimization proposed by victimologists Sellin and Wolfgang: 1) primary victimization where a specific victim is targeted, 2) secondary victimization where victims are not the objective, 3) tertiary victimization where the general public is affected, 4) mutual victimization between criminal perpetrators, and 5) no clear victimization. Hate crimes fall under primary victimization, targeting individuals for their race, religion, or other attributes.

It summarizes a five-category typology of victimization developed by Sellin and Wolfgang, including primary, secondary, tertiary, mutual, and no victimization. Hate crimes involve primary victimization, targeting individuals for their race, religion, or other attributes. While polls showed improving race relations after Obama's election, data from the Uniform Crime Report shows hate crime rates have actually been decreasing since 1996.

2009 April 7 Former Peruvian President Fujimori Conviction A Milestonegroup9
Former Peruvian President Fujimori was convicted of human rights abuses including authorizing murder and kidnapping. This conviction is seen as a milestone for justice and national healing in Peru. Hugo Relva from Amnesty International notes that several other human rights cases are pending against officials in Peru and other Latin American countries.
The document summarizes a report by the Fact Finding Team of the Editors Guild of India on challenges faced by journalists in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. The team traveled to Jagdalpur and Raipur from March 13-15, 2016 to investigate recent reports of arrests of journalists and threats they face. The team found the reports to be true, with at least two journalists arrested and others threatened or forced to leave. Journalists in the region, caught between state and non-state actors, face pressure from both the administration and Maoists, creating a difficult environment for reporting.
Behind bars arrests of journalists in india 2010-20sabrangsabrang
This document analyzes 154 cases over the past decade (2010-2020) in which Indian journalists were arrested, detained, interrogated, or served notices due to their professional work. The number of such cases against journalists has sharply risen in recent years, particularly in 2020 and in states ruled by the BJP party. The cases involve charges such as terrorism, sedition, and other laws, and reflect a deteriorating climate for free speech in India with a chilling effect on media freedom.
Mexico is the second most dangerous country for journalists after Iraq. Since 2000, 57 journalists have been killed in Mexico, most of which remain unsolved. Drug trafficking has become a $19 billion industry in Mexico, employing over 500,000 people. Journalists face threats, kidnappings, and killings for their coverage of the drug war and cartels. Their work is also impacted by self-censorship due to fears of retribution. Solutions proposed include protecting journalists, combating corruption, and informing the public while verifying information and taking safety precautions.

2. Journalists Murdered in the year
2001 through 2010
Here are the 13 countries where journalists are murdered on a
recurring basis and governments are unable or unwilling to
prosecute the killers. The index covers the years 2001 through 2010.
3. IRAQ
The scourge of impunity worsened in Iraq, a country with a rating far worse
than anywhere else in the world. None of the 92 journalist murders recorded
in Iraq in the past decade has been solved, and, after a brief decline in
targeted killings, journalist murders spiked in 2010. Among the four murder
victims in 2010 was Sardasht Osman, a contributor to several news outlets
who had received numerous threats for coverage that accused Kurdistan
Regional Government officials of corruption. The investigation of his murder
is emblematic of the deeply entrenched culture of impunity in Iraq.
Authorities took no discernible action in the case until they faced intense
international pressure. Then, investigators produced a cursory, 430-word
report that vaguely accused Osman of having links to an extremist group
that led to his killing. The report, which cited no supporting evidence for its
claims, was widely denounced for lacking credibility and transparency.
4. SOMALIA
With 10 unsolved murders in the last decade, Somalia has the worst
rating in Africa and holds the second spot worldwide. The victims
include Sheikh Nur Mohamed Abkey, who was tortured and shot
multiple times in May 2010. Al-Shabaab militants claimed
responsibility for the murder of Abkey, one of the country’s most
senior journalists, in reprisal for his work at state-run Radio
Mogadishu. Somalia’s impunity rating is one element in a
devastated media landscape: Nearly 60 Somali journalists have fled
the country in the past decade in the face of threats, CPJ research
shows, and those remaining practice extreme self-censorship to
survive.
5. PHILIPPINES
Top justice officials met at length with CPJ in 2010 to discuss the problem of
impunity, with President Aquino offering his personal pledge to reverse the
nation’s record of unpunished, anti-press violence. But Philippine officials
also stressed the difficulty of the task in a country where 56 journalists have
been killed with impunity over the past decade. The government’s case
against dozens of defendants in the 2009 massacre in Maguindanao
province, in which 32 journalists and media workers were killed, reflects an
overall pattern in which Philippine authorities often identify suspects but
rarely win convictions. Initial trial proceedings in the Maguindanao killings
have been plagued by threats and bribes targeting witnesses, and
incompetence and corruption among local investigators. The slow-moving
prosecution has yielded no convictions thus far. In the meantime, deadly
violence continues: Radio journalists Joselito Agustin and Desidario
Camangyan were murdered in 2010 after reporting on local corruption.
6. SRI LANKA
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has presided over a dark era of targeted
media killings and complete law enforcement failure in addressing the
crimes. All nine journalist murders in the past decade have gone
unsolved, leaving persistent questions as to whether authorities have been
complicit in some of the crimes. Illustrating the problems is the 2009 murder
of Lasantha Wickramatunga, who, as one of the country’s leading
editors, was a prominent critic of government policies. Wickramatunga was
beaten to death by a group of motorcycle-riding assailants along a
busy, suburban Colombo street on a weekday morning. The government
staged investigative hearings without making any progress in apprehending
suspects. As Wickramatunga’s wife, Sonali Samarasinghe, wrote on the CPJ
Blog: “The government has stonewalled the investigation while passing it
around like a hot potato from one investigating body to another.”
7. COLOMBIA
Historically one of the most murderous places in the world for
journalists, Colombia has earned its very poor ranking on the index.
But the country showed its fourth consecutive year of improvement
as deadly anti-press violence has slowed and authorities have had
some success in prosecuting journalist murders. Much work remains:
Eleven journalist murders over the past decade remain unsolved.
Among them is the March 2010 killing of Montería newspaper
editor Clodomiro Castilla Ospino, who was fatally shot after covering
links between illegal right-wing paramilitary groups and local
politicians. Colombian journalists, particularly in provincial areas, say
they still work under extreme duress and often practice self-
censorship.
8. AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan is in a holding pattern with no new murders reported
but no convictions won in any of seven unsolved cases over the
past decade. The unsolved cases include the 2008 murder of Abdul
Samad Rohani, a reporter for the BBC's Pashto service and
contributor to the local Pajhwok Afghan News agency. Rohani was
shot multiple times near Lashkar Gah, capital of Helmand
province, after reporting on alleged links between drug traffickers
and government officials.
9. NEPAL
Six local reporters and editors have been murdered with complete
impunity in the past decade. Maoist cadres are suspected in a
number of the killings, including the 2007 murder of reporter Birendra
Shah, whose coverage had been critical of what was then an
armed Maoist insurgency. After joining the government in
2008, Maoist leaders pledged to investigate the numerous press
freedom violations that had been ascribed to their
members, including several non-fatal attacks and abductions. Yet
no evident progress has been made in achieving justice.
10. MEXICO
Mexico’s impunity rating worsened for the third consecutive year. At least
13 journalist murders have gone unsolved in the past decade amid
widespread corruption in local government and law enforcement. In
2010, gunmen killed Luis Carlos Santiago, a photographer for the Ciudad
Juarez newspaper El Diario, in a shopping center parking lot on a weekday
afternoon. The killing came just two years after El Diario’s crime
reporter,Armando Rodríguez Carreón, was gunned down in front of his
young daughter. The murders prompted the paper to drastically curtail
coverage of drug trafficking and crime, illustrating the devastating effects
of unpunished, anti-press violence in Mexico. CPJ documented impunity in
Mexico in a 2010 special report, Silence or Death in Mexico’s Press, and a
delegation elicited promises of reform from President Calderón. But while a
special prosecutor’s office has been strengthened, other proposed
reforms—including the federalization of crimes against the press—are
moving slowly.
11. RUSSIA
No journalists were murdered in reprisal for their work in 2010, the first year
since 1999 that no targeted media killings were reported in Russia. At the
same time, authorities won convictions in the 2009 double-murder of
reporter Anastasiya Baburova and human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov.
But those murders, committed on a downtown Moscow street by two
radical nationalists, may prove much easier to close than the 16 unsolved
cases over the past decade. They include the contract killings of
investigative journalistsAnna Politkovskaya and Paul Klebnikov; the
abduction and murder of Natalya Estemirova, who covered human rights in
the volatile North Caucasus, and the mysterious poisoning of the critical
newspaper editor Yuri Shchekochikhin. In meetings with a CPJ delegation in
September 2010, high-ranking law enforcement officials pledged to re-
examine five cold journalist murder cases, and they reported progress in the
Politkovskaya slaying and other cases.
12. PAKISTAN
At least 14 journalist murders have gone unsolved between 2001
and 2010. The victims include Misri Khan, a veteran reporter and
local journalist association leader, who was shot multiple times in
September 2010 as he entered the press club building in Hangu, a
volatile town near the Afghan border. Colleagues said he had
received numerous threats from militant groups. In May
2011, President Asif Ali Zardari met with a CPJ delegation and
pledged to renew investigations into the unsolved cases and to
take a more assertive stance in combating anti-press violence
overall.
13. BANGLADESH
Bangladesh’s impunity rating improved slightly, reflecting the fifth
consecutive year without a journalist murdered. But authorities have
produced no results in solving the five journalist murders that
occurred in the first half of the decade. All of the victims were print
reporters covering local stories of corruption and crime. Among
them was Nahar Ali, a correspondent for the Bengali-language
daily Anirban, who died in April 2001 from injuries sustained days
earlier when masked men kidnapped, stabbed, and beat him.
Local journalists said Ali’s murder was linked to his reporting on
police corruption and local criminal syndicates. To this
day, authorities have made no arrests.
14. BRAZIL
Brazil has been on and off CPJ’s Impunity Index over the past four
years, illustrating its mixed record in combating journalist murders.
Although authorities have successfully prosecuted a number of
journalist murders, the country continues to see persistent anti-press
violence. Brazil returns to the index this year because of the October
2010 murder of radio reporter Francisco Gomes de Medeiros. The
Gomes case became the fifth unsolved murder in the past decade
in Brazil. But authorities appear to be making progress in the
case, apprehending the alleged gunman and mastermind, and
raising hopes that the case may be solved.
15. INDIA
With seven unsolved media murders and no apparent political will
to prosecute the cases, India retained its spot on CPJ’s index. The
victims include reporter Prahlad Goala, who was murdered in 2006
in the northeastern state of Assam after writing a series of articles on
corruption in the local forestry service. Police arrested a forestry
official shortly after the murder but soon released him; other
suspects were later taken into custody, but no convictions have
been obtained.
