On May 3, in conjunction with World Press Freedom Day, CPJ announced
its annual choices of the top 10 Enemies of the Press worldwide. Those

of journalists. For the second consecutive year, the leader of
Algeria's Armed Islamic Group took first place in a roster that
includes a number of repeat offenders and a troubling cast of
newcomers.
