New York, October 20, 2015–The Committee to Protect Journalists will release a special report, “In Tunisia, press freedom erodes amid security fears,” on October 27, 2015, at a press conference in Tunis.
The report examines how press freedom advances made since the 2011 Arab uprisings that began in Tunisia have eroded as journalists are squeezed between violent extremists and sensitive security forces, particularly in the wake of two major terrorist attacks this year. The report includes CPJ’s recommendations to the Tunisian government.
