According to Reporters Without Borders , 25 journalists lost their
lives in 2002 while exercising their profession. Over 500
journalists have died over the past 10 years.
Today, at least 119 journalists are in
prison for trying to inform.
Reporters Without Borders has been working
for the past 20 years to defend the right to inform and be
informed. It is launching a spectacular public campaign in which
star news anchors of French television will be "assassinated"
(Christine Ockrent, Guillaume Durand and Emmanuel Chain).
Reporters Without Borders defends
imprisoned journalists and the freedom of the press around the
world, according to article 19 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. It has nine national sections (Germany, Austria,
Belgium, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden and
Switzerland), is represented in Abidjan, Bangkok, Buenos Aires,
Istanbul, Montreal, Moscow, Nairobi, New York, Tokyo and
Washington, and has over 100 correspondents in the world.
