"Just a note of thanks to all of CPJ for your support, which came at a time when we had the impression of being completely discouraged and suddenly alone. CPJ's gesture of solidarity encouraged me to return to my country and to continue the fight for freedom of expression," Donat M'baya Tshimanga, president of Congolese press freedom organization Journalists en Danger, who received help from CPJ to go into temporary exile after receiving death threats.
"I have never forgotten that you always stood by me. ... I have no words express my appreciation and thanks," Habetamu Assefa, Ethiopian journalist and press freedom activist forced into exile.
"I have been here only 24 hours, but you cannot imagine the tranquility I feel since I set foot in the airplane to this destination. Nothing remains but to thank CPJ. A thousand thanks," Colombian journalist Jenny Manrique who received death threats from paramilitaries. CPJ helped arrange a temporary safe haven.
