Titolo: (OT) A Third Of Jailed Journalists Web-based

Ecco qui, fara' anche ridere qualcuno l'idea di fare un blog, oppure come
il moritz, dopo averci messo la foto e due pensieri e non aver raccolto il
consenso delle masse oceaniche, valutata l'inutilita', ma c'e' gente che
per averne fatto un uso rivoluzionario e' in galera:

China and other authoritarian countries trying to
control information on the Web have driven a record
increase in the number of journalists jailed, with a
third either bloggers or Web-based editors or
reporters, a free press group said.
The number of journalists imprisoned increased this
year for the second consecutive year, up to 134 as of
Dec. 1, nine more than in 2005, the New York-based
Committee to Protect Journalists said. China, Cuba,
Eritrea and Ethiopia were the top four jailers among
the 24 nations that imprisoned journalists.
Print reporters, editors and photographers continued to
make up the largest group of imprisoned journalists,
with Internet journalists comprising the second largest
category, the CPJ said. Also increasing in number were
journalists whose work appeared primarily via e-mail or
another electronic form.
The CPJ said that the fight for press freedom was at a
crucial juncture because of authoritarian nations that
have made the Internet a major front in efforts to
control information. China was singled out as leading
the charge, with the most number of journalists in jail
for the eighth consecutive year.
"China is challenging the notion that the Internet is
impossible to control or censor, and if it succeeds,
there will be far-ranging implications, not only for
the medium, but for press freedom all over the world,"
Joel Simon, executive director of the CPJ, said in a
statement.
Overall, the most common charges used to jail
journalists were subversion, divulging state secrets
and acting against the interests of the state. In
total, 84 journalists were imprisoned under these
charges, many in China, Cuba and Ethiopia. The group
also found an increasing number of journalists jailed
without any charge or trial at all.
The United States was also criticized in the CPJ annual
report for imprisoning two journalists without charge
in the country's war on terrorism. The journalists
included freelance photographer Bilal Hussein and Al-
Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Haj.

"La Cina sta sfidando la nozione che Internet e' impossibile da controllare
o censurare, e se dovesse succedere, ci sarebbero implicazioni a tutto
campo, non soltanto per il mezzo, ma per la liberta' di stampa in tutto il
mondo"
Ha dichiarato Joel Simon, direttore esecutivo del Comitato per la
Protezione dei Giornalisti.
