The number of journalists imprisoned around the world has reached an all-time high.<\/p>\n

According to a report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), 363 journalists will be denied their freedom as of December 1, 2022, a new global high that surpasses last year’s record by 20%.<\/p>\n

According to the report, at least 56 journalists will be imprisoned in Africa by 2022, with Egypt being the most repressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cEgypt remains the top jailer of journalists across Africa, despite some releases under international pressure. Eritrea is one of the most censored countries in the world. The majority of the journalists imprisoned there have been detained without trial for 21 years since the crackdown on the independent press in 2001,\u201d the report reads.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCameroon has appeared on the census every year since 2014,\u00a0with some currently jailed journalists held since 2016.\u00a0Senegal has one journalist imprisoned for their work, Pape\u00a0Al\u00e9 Niang, marking the first time the country has been on the\u00a0census since 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThree of the four jailed journalists in Rwanda are YouTubers. Aimable Karasira and Dieudonn\u00e9 Niyonsenga allege that they have been tortured and ill-treated while imprisoned.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFrench journalist Olivier Dubois, who was abducted in Mali in April 2021, and five Tigrai TV journalists, detained in the rebel-held city of Mekelle in the northern Ethiopian state of Tigray, are not included in the census because they are in the custody of non-state actors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Between 1992 and 2022, twenty-four journalists and media workers were killed in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

On October 13, 2022, Abdulrasheed Akogun and his brother Dare Akogun were arrested on criminal charges for comments they made in a WhatsApp group.<\/p>\n

The journalists were charged with criminal conspiracy, defamation, inciting disturbance, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking, alleging that Rafiyu Ajakaye, the governor of Kwara state’s chief press secretary, financially influenced the outcome of a recent election in the local chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists.<\/p>\n

Oloye Samuel, the publisher of Taraba Truth and Facts newspaper<\/a> and the chief executive officer of Rock FM 92.3 in Jalingo, was recently arrested by state government agents following a report that Taraba’s governor, Darius Ishaku, was planning to sell the state liaison office.<\/p>\n

IRAN, CHINA, AND TURKEY TOP THE GLOBAL LIST<\/strong><\/p>\n

CPJ reports<\/a> that Iran, China, Myanmar, Turkey, and Belarus will be the top five global jailers in 2022.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of journalists were arrested in Iran during the crackdown on protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s hijab law.<\/p>\n

\u201cAuthorities have imprisoned a record number of female journalists \u2013 22 out of the 49 arrested since the start of the protests are women \u2013\u00a0 a reflection of the prominent role they\u2019ve played in covering this women-led uprising,\u201d the report said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn China, authorities\u00a0tightened online censorship\u00a0during recent\u00a0protests\u00a0over the government\u2019s zero-COVID lockdown policies and several journalists are reported to have been briefly\u00a0detained\u00a0while covering the demonstrations.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of Myanmar journalists known to be jailed on December 1 rose to at least 42 \u2013 up from a revised 30 last year \u2013 as the regime doubled down on its efforts to mute reporters and disrupted the country\u2019s remaining independent media outlets. Many news organizations remain reluctant to identify detained staff and freelancers to avoid the harsher sentences often meted out to journalists.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of journalists held in Turkey rose from 18 in 2021 to 40 in 2022 after the arrests of 25 Kurdish journalists in the second half of the year. The journalists\u2019 lawyers told CPJ all were jailed on suspicion of terrorism \u2013 a\u00a0 result of the country\u2019s ongoing efforts\u00a0to silence those it associates with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK).<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBelarus held 26 journalists in custody on December 1 \u2013 up from 19 last year. Almost half are yet to be sentenced; two serve terms of 10 or more years. All known charges are either retaliatory or anti-state, such as treason.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

CPJ and other human rights organisations, including the United Nations (UN) have continued to call for the release of the imprisoned journalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
