The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) marked the World Press Freedom
Day, May 3, by naming the World's Worst Places to Be a Journalist. The list
of 10 places represents the full range of current threats to press freedom.
At the top of the list is Iraq, where 25 journalists have died since March
2003. A brutal crackdown launched last year in Cuba left 29 journalists
behind bars, serving lengthy prison terms of up to 27 years. Zimbabwe,
Turkmenistan, Bangladesh, China, Eritrea, Haiti, the West Bank and Gaza, and
Russia are also on the list.
