We categorically condemn the outrageous prosecution of Shi Tao, |
We condemn the continued targeting of all innocent civilians, including journalists, and appeal to those holding them to free them at once. |
We continue to hope that these two journalists make a speedy recovery. What these attacks show is that covering Iraq is fraught with risk. Whether reporters are embedded with military forces or working independently there is no escape from the danger. |
We hope that those responsible for these murders and those of other journalists will eventually be brought to justice. |
We serve no more processed food. There's fresh fruit and vegetables every day. |
We welcome this important court decision. The government should withdraw these spurious charges against all of the former Daily News journalists, repeal AIPPA and allow the Daily News to reopen. |
We're disturbed to see the number of jailed journalists rise, and we're particularly troubled that the list of worst abusers now includes Ethiopia and the United States. |
We're gravely concerned that sedition laws are being used to retaliate against a critical publication. The Philippine government should drop these charges and affirm its commitment and remove laws that inhibit the work of the press. |
We're utterly shocked and dismayed by this senseless crime. These three journalists were targeted and murdered in cold blood because they were doing their jobs. |
When my section met (to discuss the air conditioning), we were told that our classrooms would hopefully be redone during the summer. |
While Nepal is in political turmoil, we must remember the important role that journalists play at such times. They must be allowed to continue to inform the public of the fast-changing events that will affect the course of the nation as well as the safety of Nepalese people. We call on the king to release all journalists and to ensure that they can work safely and freely. |
While we understand this issue is deeply sensitive, the solution cannot be found in silencing newspapers. |
While we were initially pleased that the government had dropped its baseless charge against Zhao, his continued detention shows the government's cavalier attitude toward due process and the rule of law. We call for his immediate release. |
While we're glad that our colleague has been freed, the coercive circumstances of his release are alarming. Saudi officials must allow him to continue his work without further persecution. |
Your nation's stated commitment to a free press and to democracy is undermined by measures that provide special protection to public officials. We believe criminal defamation laws are unnecessary in a democracy and that prison penalties for such charges undercut the fundamental democratic principle of free expression. |
