(Ikshef) – The Committee to Protect Journalists says it will release its annual census of journalists imprisoned worldwide on December 13, 2016.
CPJ found that more journalists were imprisoned this year than in any year since CPJ’s first prison census, published in the 1990 edition of Attacks on the Press.
The census catalogs journalists imprisoned as of midnight on December 1, 2016, and indicates the country where held, charge, and medium of work for each imprisoned journalist. It does not include the many journalists who were imprisoned during the year but released prior to December 1.
