China tops as ‘world’s biggest prison for journalists’: Reporters without Borders/ENG

DHARAMSHALA, Dec. 20: China is the ‘world’s biggest prison for journalist’ for the year 2017, global media watchdog Reporters without Borders said in its annual round-up report of violence and abuses against journalists throughout the world.

The Paris based organization also known as the Reporters Sans Frontières (RSF) said that China is the world’s biggest prison for journalists “ continuing to improve its arsenal of measures for persecuting journalists and bloggers.”

China has emerged as the most hostile country for journalists overthrowing conflict zone nations such as Syria in the infamous list. The report remarked that China employs deliberate health deterioration until death against outright death sentences, in a bid to inflict more suffering to the victims.

Incidentally, the report cited Nobel laureate Lui Xiaobo and blogger Yang Tongyan who were both diagnosed with terminal-stage cancer earlier in 2017 while serving lengthy jail sentences and died shortly after being transferred to hospital.

The report revealed that countries like China that are not at war have become almost as dangerous for journalists as war zones with the overall figure of 46% deaths occurring in countries where there is no “overt war” taking place.

Although the report pointed out that the year has been the least deadly year for professional journalists in 14 years, the same cannot be said for deaths of female journalists. Twice the female journalists have been killed in 2017, as against five in 2016.

In 2017, a total of 65 journalists were killed, 54 are held hostage and 326 are currently in prison out of which 103 are detained in China, the highest in the world.
