The Number Of Jailed Journalists Reaches Record High<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In 2022, more\u00a0journalists<\/a>\u00a0than ever before were imprisoned for doing their job.<\/p>\n

As Statista’s Martin Armstrong reports<\/a>, some 363 journalists were imprisoned in 30 different countries last year,<\/strong> according to data from the\u00a0Committee to Protect Journalists<\/a>\u00a0(CPJ).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

By 2021, the number of detainees had already exceeded 300 – roughly doubling since 2015. An alarming trend that, according to the experts, is a sign of the deterioration of press freedom worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2022, the largest number of journalists were held in an Iranian prison (62 people),<\/strong> in China (43), and Myanmar, where 42 people were locked away at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Developments in Eastern Europe are also cause for concern – the arrest of ‘Wall Street Journal’ journalist Evan Gershkovich by Russian authorities one recent indicator of the situation there. Gershkovich was arrested while reporting on the\u00a0Ukraine war<\/a>\u00a0and is the first U.S. journalist since the end of the Cold War to be detained on espionage charges in Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
