<strong>Attacks</strong> on the Press in 2010Journalists in Prison327
<strong>Attacks</strong> on the Press in 2010analysisIran, China Drive Tally toHighest Level in 14 yearsIran’s sustained crackdown on critical voices and China’s brutal suppressionof ethnic journalism pushed the number of journalists imprisonedworldwide to its highest level since 1996. In its annual census of imprisonedjournalists, CPJ identified 145 reporters, editors, and photojournalistsbehind bars on December 1, an increase of nine from the 2009 tally.Iran and China, with 34 imprisoned journalists apiece, were the world’sworst jailers of the press, together constituting nearly half of the worldwidetotal. Eritrea, Burma, and Uzbekistan filled out the five worst jailers fromamong the 28 nations that imprison journalists.Data from Iran were surprising in that they reflected imprisonmentsnot simply from the post-election crackdown of 2009, but from a sustainedassault on critical voices that continued throughout 2010. The Iranian detaineesranged from internationally known writers such as Issa Saharkhiz,a veteran state journalist who became a reform-minded columnist, toNavid Mohebbi, a blogger covering women’s rights who, at age 18, was theyoungest person on CPJ’s census.The number of imprisonments in China was up significantly from 2009,when CPJ found 24 jailed journalists. The increase was propelled by aseries of imprisonments of Uighur and Tibetan journalists that began inthe latter half of 2009 and continued into 2010, the details of which haveemerged only recently in accounts of their court proceedings. The Uighurand Tibetan journalists covered ethnic issues and the violent regionalunrest of recent years, topics that are officially off-limits. These journalistswere also vulnerable because they were unrecognized by the state orCommunist Party, which authorize all news media in China. The detaineesincluded a Tibetan writer known as Buddha who questioned economic disparitiesbetween Tibet and the rest of the nation in a now-banned magazine,and Gheyrat Niyaz, editor of a Uighur website who commented onethnic violence in the far-western Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.Both China and Iran relied heavily on the use of vague antistate charges.But CPJ found that the abusive application of antistate charges—suchPhoto: Yemeni journalist Abdulelah Hider Shaea, is led into security court in Sana’a. He isone of 72 journalists held on antistate charges worldwide. (Reuters/Khaled Abdullah)328
