COMMENT Thought this was a good quickie overview of military action in the Middle East. There's a massive amount of resistance in Afghanistan - something's getting blown up all the time. Five thousand airstrikes in Iraq, in a year, is huge. |

TURKEY & OTHERS GAOL JOURNALISTS
TurkeyBy AFP
|
Never mind the 'shameless woman' bit. They gaol journalists! I had no idea. And it's not just one or two bad boys; it's 40 journalists in the one year.
Check out this article for places not to work if you're a journalist:
- Turkey, Iran, and China accounted for more than half of all journalists imprisoned around the world in 2013
- Eritrea remained Africa’s worst jailer of journalists, with 22 behind bars compared with 28 in 2012. Eritrea is the world’s worst abuser of due process; no Eritrean detainee has ever been publicly charged with a crime or brought before a court for trial.
- Vietnam was holding 18 journalists, up from 14 a year earlier, as authorities intensified a crackdown on bloggers, who represent the country’s only independent press.
- The number of prisoners rose in Ethiopia, Bahrain, and Somalia, in addition to Vietnam.
[used mostly anti-state charges to silence a combined 107 critical reporters, bloggers, and editors]

That journalist that was expelled from Turkey the other day was LUCKY!
