Protection of journalists and press freedom 2010, para. 30
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Journalists, confronted with attacks, threats and possible imprisonment, are often forced to flee their home countries to avoid risking their lives. Since 2001, more than 500 journalists have reportedly fled their countries of origin, and 454 remained in exile as at June 2010. At least 85 journalists fled their home countries between 1 June 2009 and 31 May 2010, double the number recorded in the previous year. In addition, at least 29 editors, reporters and photographers have fled the Islamic Republic of Iran since June 2009, the highest annual tally from a single country in a decade. Moreover, the exile rate of journalists fleeing Africa has allegedly tripled over the past year, with at least 42 journalists, most of them from Ethiopia and Somalia, fleeing their homes.
