Eritrea

Bloggers are now finding themselves prey to censorship from repressive governments as much as journalists in traditional media, a report says. Reporters Without Borders’ annual study of press freedom says China is one of the worst offenders, having imprisoned 50 people for postings on the internet. The report says governments realize the Internet is now a key tool in promoting democracy and are moving to curb it. Eritrea was ranked bottom on overall press freedom by the pressure group.
