World Press Freedom Day

Today it´s the World Press Freedom day , to honour those journalists killed or in prison i would like you to check out this website

I also would to ad a new report released today from Reporters without borders about the situation for journalists in Iraq , 56 journalists or media assistants have died and 29 has been kidnapped since the war began on 22 March 2003, that is just in 25 months, compared to other warzones in history, Vietnam 63 (1955-1975), Algeria 57 (1993-96) and the war in former Yugoslavia 49(1991-95)

This is an article about the situation in Egypt for journalists. Charges of libel has been the most common way of scarying journalists from reporting on government corruption and cronyism since the law was introduced in 1996.
