FREE EXPRESSION SPOTLIGHT
1. YEMEN: JOURNALISTS UNDER ATTACK
In Yemen, independent journalists are working in increasingly hostile conditions marked by intimidation, harassment and violent attacks in the wake of protests over the government’s lifting of fuel subsidies in July which left dozens of people killed, report the International Press Institute (IPI), the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontières, RSF).
In the latest incident, four men abducted Jamal Amer, editor of the weekly „Al-Wasat“, on 23 August 2005 as he returned home from his office in the capital, Sanaa, says CPJ. The journalist said he was thrown into another car, beaten and accused of receiving funding from the U.S. and Kuwaiti embassies. One of the men warned him about defaming unspecified „officials.“ Amer said he was released about four hours later. He said he believed the car he was thrown into belonged to the Yemeni Republican Guard.
„Al-Wasat“ has been a fierce critic of the Yemeni government and frequently publishes stories about corruption and government misconduct. A recent article listed the names of 56 students, with connections to high-ranking government officers, who have been awarded state-funded scholarships to study abroad, notes IPI.
The attack against Amer is the latest in a string of thefts, threats and violent attacks against journalists over the past year, CPJ says. Last week, burglars broke into the Sanaa office of The Associated Press and stole computers, a fax machine, and a camera. In July, police assaulted and arrested several journalists covering the fuel price riots. Haji al-Jehafi, editor of the weekly newspaper „Al-Nahar“, was wounded on 17 July when he opened a letter bomb addressed to him.
Other journalists were attacked or had their equipment confiscated. Foreign media were prevented from sending news reports using Yemeni TV satellite stations. In the aftermath of the riots, some journalists are still receiving harassing phone calls and threats warning them not to criticise the government.
Despite a lively and diverse press in Yemen, journalists often incur harsh penalties for reporting on sensitive topics. Yemen’s 1990 Press Law bars criticism of the president and lists a wide range of vaguely worded offenses that can land a journalist in court and prison. Article 103 prohibits journalists and editors from publishing articles that „cause tribal, sectarian, racial, regional or ancestral discrimination“ or „undermine public morals or prejudices the dignity of individuals or personal freedoms.“
According to RSF, nine suspended jail sentences against journalists were issued by Yemeni courts in 2004. In response to international criticism, the government has drafted legislation to amend the Press Law, including decriminalising press offences. IFJ has urged the government to consult the Yemeni Journalists‘ Syndicate on the draft legislation.

MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA
2. IRAQ: U.S. TROOPS KILL REUTERS SOUNDMAN; INJURED CAMERAMAN DETAINED
U.S. military authorities in Iraq are under pressure from international press freedom groups to answer questions about the killing of journalists by American troops, following the shooting of two Reuters employees in Baghdad on 28 August 2005.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontières, RSF) and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) are calling for an investigation into the death of Waleed Khaled, a Reuters Television soundman shot and killed by U.S. forces. They are also demanding the immediate release of cameraman Haidar Kadhem, a colleague of Khaled’s who was injured in the shooting and is being detained by U.S. troops.
Khaled, 35, was shot several times in the face and chest as he drove with Kadhem to investigate the killing of two Iraqi policemen in Baghdad’s Hay al-Adil district, reports RSF. Kadhem, the only known eyewitness to the shooting, was injured in the back and detained by U.S. troops. He told other journalists arriving at the scene that he saw an American sniper on the roof of a shopping centre after hearing shots ring out. A U.S. military spokesman says an „open investigation into the events“ is being conducted and that Kadhem is being detained „due to inconsistencies in his story“ that „warrant further questioning.“
According to RSF, Khaled was the 67th journalist killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003 – more than the number of journalists killed (63) during the 20-year Vietnam war. His death followed the 24 August killing of Rafed Al Rabaji, a freelance contributor for the Iraqi television station Al Irakiya. Al Rabaji was killed when gunmen at a pro-Saddam Hussein demonstration in Diyala fired shots in his direction, says RSF.
IFJ has called for a UN inquiry into the killings of journalists by U.S. troops, saying the Pentagon maintains a „wall of silence“ on the deaths of 18 journalists and media staff killed by American forces since March 2003.
Meanwhile, CPJ reports that several Iraqi journalists continue to be detained without explanation by U.S. forces, including Ali Mashhadani, a 36-year-old freelance cameraman and photographer working with Reuters who has been held incommunicado since 8 August. He has not been allowed to see his family or his lawyers. The U.S. command has refused to make any comment about his arrest.
In January 2004, three Iraqis working for Reuters said they were subjected to sexual abuse and humiliation when U.S. troops arrested them near Fallujah while they were covering the downing of a U.S. helicopter. A military investigation absolved the soldiers of any wrongdoing, despite the fact that investigators did not interview any of the victims.

3. TUNISIA: JOURNALISTS‘ SYNDICATE BARRED FROM HOLDING CONFERENCE
As Tunisia prepares to host the World Summit on the Information Society in November 2005, a UN-sponsored conference aimed at regulating the Internet and spreading its benefits to developing countries, IFEX members have raised concerns that Tunisian authorities are tarnishing the image of the summit by cracking down on critics of the government.
The Tunisia Monitoring Group, a coalition of 14 free expression groups who belong to IFEX, says the government plans to bar the independent Tunisian Journalists‘ Syndicate (SJT) from holding its first congress on 7 September 2005.
On 24 August, the President of the SJT, Lotfi Hajji, was detained and interrogated for four hours by security officials in Tunis. He was told that the government would bar SJT from holding its congress and that the group could not hold a seminar that same week that would have brought together journalists from North Africa to talk about unions. Hajji was not told on what legal grounds the decision to bar the congress was based.
While the Tunisian government has argued that SJT is an illegal organisation, Hajji says „the legal and legitimate basis of the activities of the Syndicate [fall] within the framework of the country’s Constitution.“
The TMG has joined other IFEX members, including the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontières, RSF), in calling for an end to the harassment of SJT and its members.
RSF notes that under Article 8 of Tunisia’s constitution, it says „trade union freedom is guaranteed.“ Tunisia’s 1966 labour law also recognises full union freedom. According to this law, the authorities only have to be notified when a union is created. Their consent is not required. The authorities were notified when the SJT established a founding committee composed of 150 journalists in May 2004, says RSF..
Tunisian authorities detained Hajji on three previous occasions this year, including in May, when officials confiscated his books at Tunis airport and threatened to sue him after learning that he planned to publish a report criticising the government for restricting press freedom.
The SJT was founded by independent Tunisian journalists who were frustrated by the country’s poor press freedom record and the failure of existing press associations to speak out against harassment of the media.

4. ANGOLA URGED TO REFORM PRESS, DEFAMATION LAWS
International legal rights groups have called on Angola to reform its press and defamation laws and comply with a recent UN Human Rights Committee ruling that found the government violated an international human rights treaty when it jailed a journalist for criticising the president.
The Open Society Justice Initiative and Interights say Angola should amend its laws to bring them in line with international standards, including decriminalising the defamation of public officials. The organisations represented Rafael Marques de Morais before the UN Human Rights Committee in Geneva, which ruled on 30 March 2005 that Angola violated the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights when it jailed Marques in 1999 for writing articles critical of President José Eduardo dos Santos. The Committee gave the Angolan authorities 90 days to compensate Marques and take steps to prevent similar violations in future. No such steps have been taken to date.
Marques was arrested and imprisoned in Luanda on 16 October 1999, after he published an editorial in the newspaper „Agora“ that said the president was responsible „for the destruction of the country“ and „accountable for the promotion of incompetence, embezzlement and corruption.“ Marques was detained for 40 days without charges, then tried and convicted for causing „injury“ to the President.
He was sentenced to a six-month prison term, which was affirmed but suspended on appeal, and ordered to pay damages to the president. For nearly a year after his conviction, Marques’ passport was withheld, and he was prevented from leaving the country.
According to a 2004 report by Human Rights Watch, Angolan laws continue to impose greater restrictions on freedom of expression than permissible under the constitution or international law. For more than two years, government leaders have promised to amend the laws but no action has been taken. Under the current law, defamation crimes are punishable by prison terms ranging from two to eight years. Human Rights Watch says influential officials are able to take advantage of these laws to silence criticism as a result of a continuing lack of independence in the judiciary.

5. FREEDOM HOUSE STUDY REVEALS POWER OF CIVIL SOCIETY MOVEMENTS
A new Freedom House study has found that democratic transitions led by non-violent civic coalitions lead to far better results for freedom than top-down initiatives by elites. „How Freedom is Won“ analyses 67 countries that have undergone transitions from authoritarian rule since 1972.
The study examines four key characteristics of each transition – the societal forces driving it, the strength of non-violent civic resistance, the level of violence and the sources of that violence – to determine how successful transitions to democracy are achieved. The findings suggest that policy makers should offer support to nascent civic resistance movements in order to foster democratic change.

6. WANTED: JOURNALISTS FOR MEDIA ETHICS SURVEY
The Argentine Journalism Forum (FOPEA) is seeking input from journalists around the world as part of a research project investigating how media professionals are dealing with the challenges of journalism ethics in different countries.
The research is being led by Pablo Mendelevich, a journalist and professor at the University of Palermo, and is supported by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
FOPEA has prepared a survey which seeks journalists‘ opinions on the five most common ethical problems pertaining to journalism (eg. invasion of privacy, sensationalism, corruption) and examples of how journalists are dealing with these problems in everyday practice.
To participate in the survey, please contact Research Assistant María Celeste Danón for details: celeste@fopea.org
7. COMMONWEALTH HUMAN RIGHTS NETWORK SEEKS MEMBERS
Networking for human rights will be the theme of the 2nd annual Commonwealth Human Rights Forum, which takes place in Malta from 20 to 21 November 2005. The forum gives civil society activists an opportunity to raise the profile of human rights on the agenda of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Commonwealth countries are invited to participate in the forum, which will include discussions on barriers to human rights networking such as restrictions on freedom of association and expression, anti-terrorism measures and regulations on the registering of NGOs. There will also be case studies from around the Commonwealth and opportunities to share advocacy strategies and success stories. A limited number of spaces are available for interested NGOs.
One of the initiatives of the Forum is the Commonwealth Human Rights Network (CHRN), which aims to strengthen human rights advocacy, enhance information exchange and build the capacity of civil society organisations in Commonwealth countries. Initiated by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, the Association of Commonwealth Amnesty International Sections and the Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit, the network seeks to harness the collective resources of civil society organisations to effect change, including facilitating joint campaigns to monitor human rights violations in Commonwealth countries and pressure governments to improve their rights records.
The network also aims to act as an information gateway to keep member organisations informed of Commonwealth events, using a web-based database and regular e-mail updates. Capacity-building support for human rights campaigning is also envisioned.
