Timothy Balding, CEO, World Association of Newspapers says:
“Imagine the unthinkable. Armed men barge into your office or home, lock you in handcuffs and abduct you. You are interrogated and thrown into a cell. There, you wait for hours, days or even weeks before you are charged. You are a nuisance. You are a threat. Someone wants you out of the way. More than 500 publishers and journalists were arrested and jailed in this way in 2005 and they number several thousand over the past decade. Dozens of them remain in prison today, serving sentences as long as 20 years.”
