RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY:Free Press Struggling In CIS, Mideast, And South Asia (Part 3)

RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY: "RSF press spokesman Reza Moini told Radio Farda that there were more journalists in prison in Iran in 2004 than in any other country in the region.

'In this region the situation is deplorable; it can be explained in a few words; first of all Iraq with the [high] number of dead. Then we can point to pressure and censorship and jailing of journalists. In this region during the last year 27 journalists were arrested and about half of the arrests took place in Iran.' "
