CPJ calls for release of jailed reporters in Ethiopia

Ethiopia is the second leading jailer of journalists, according to CPJ research.  This month, CPJ and Africa Media Initiative met with Ethiopia's senior communications official to discuss the country's press freedom record and review laws affecting freedom of speech.  Voice of America reported on this visit and spoke to CPJ's East Africa Consultant, Tom Rhodes.

Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:

1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.

2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.

3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.

Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian’s Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.
