Journalists and Media Staff Killed 2001 International Federation of Journalists Journalists and Media Staff Killed in 2001 An IFJ Report on Media Casualties in the Field of Journalism and Newsgathering CONTENTS: 1. INTRODUCTION 2. COUNTRY BY COUNTRY ANALYSIS 3. CASES OF JOURNALISTS KILLED 4. CASES OF MEDIAWORKERS KILLED 5. CASES UNDER INVESTIGATION 6. INTERNATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE SAFE CONDUCT OF JOURNALISM Introduction The IFJ’s report into journalists and media workers killed during 2001 records exactly 100 confirmed killings and deaths under investigation – the highest for six years. Many of the victims died in war zones, others have been targeted by brutal assassins, others have been in the wrong place at the wrong time when a story is breaking. The number of media casualties provides a tragic reminder of the price we pay for press freedom and democracy. It is time for media companies to work together on new initiatives to reduce the risks facing their staff. We need more training, better equipment and provision of insurance for all, including freelance journalists. Large media groups – such as CNN, the BBC, Reuters and Associated Press – have shown leadership by defining a code of practice to improve safety for journalists. The IFJ is looking for an industry-wide response that gives all players – small media and freelance workers included – access to the benefits of risk-awareness training. This year journalists have been living in the shadow of terrorism and war. Eight journalists have been killed in Afghanistan while another seven media staff were among the 4,000 victims who perished in New York on September 11. Every region of the world has been touched by the worsening problems of safety. The report covers killings in 38 countries. The IFJ has highlighted the cases of journalists assassinated by political gangsters or terrorists including Martin O’Hagan, an investigative reporter for the Dublin-based Sunday World, who was gunned down in September. He is the first journalist to be killed by terrorists after 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland. Another targeted victim was Mario Coelho, a campaigning Editor who exposed corruption among local politicians in Mage, Brazil. He was shot dead by a contract killer a day before he was due to testify in a criminal defamation suit. Some journalists were killed in tragic air accidents, but the eight who died over a 14- day period in Afghanistan provide a range of example of how journalists are always at risk in a fast-moving and uncontrolled conflict. Three journalists also died in Palestine The IFJ report includes journalists and all who work with them. We do not discriminate between members of the news team when it comes to casualties. Journalists lead the way, but their work so often depends upon the support of translators, drivers, technical staff and others. They must be counted too. 2 Country by Country Analysis Country Journalists Media Staff Cases Under Killed Killed Investigation Afghanistan 8 Algeria 2 Angola 1 Bangladesh 1 1 Bolivia 1 Brazil 1 China 1 1 Colombia 4 6 Costa Rica 1 Ecuador 1 Estonia 1 Federal Republic Yugoslavia 3 France 1 1 Georgia 1 Guatemala 1 Haiti 1 1 India 4 1 Indonesia 1 1 Iraq 1 Kuwait 1 Latvia 1 Mexico 2 Mongolia 3 Nigeria 1 Palestine 3 Paraguay 1 Peru 1 Philippines 2 3 Russia 1 2 Somalia 1 South Africa 1 Spain 3 Thailand 5 1 Uganda 4 Ukraine 1 1 United Kingdom 1 United States 4 8 Uzbekistan 2 Total 68 9 23 3 Regional Analysis Region Journalists Killed Mediaworkers Total Killed Africa 10 10 Americas 24 9 33 Asia 35 35 Europe 17 17 Middle East 5 5 Total 91 9 100 4 Source: IFJ, RSF, CPJ, WAN, Cases of Journalists Killed IPI, IFEX, Freedom Forum, EJC, FNSI, DJV, SNJ Country: AFGHANISTAN Description: Pierre Billaud, a CASENR: 1 reporter for Radio Television Name: Johanne Sutton Luxembourg; was killed when Taliban Nationality: French forces fired on their Northern Alliance Profession: Journalist military convoy.

    MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2004 IREX “JOURNALISTS ARE PESSIMISTIC BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE GOOD LEGISLATION, IT IS NOT APPLIED IN PRACTICE AND THE COURTS ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY,” SAID TAMAR KINTSURASHVILI. Introduction GGEORGIA The changes made possible by Georgia’s Rose Revolution began to unfold during 2004, a year of highly charged politics and significant T opportunity for progress, including in media reform. After the November 2003 resignation of President Eduard Shevardnadze, Mikheil Saakashvili was elected in January 2004 with 96 percent of the votes; parliamentary elections followed in March. The head of the autonomous region of Adjara, Aslan Abashidze, refused to recognize the new government and imposed a state of emergency, but political pressure and economic sanctions from Tbilisi as well as mass protests forced him to flee to Russia in May. Central government rule was restored, and elections of the Adjara Supreme Council took place in June. The new government inherited a country torn apart by the ethnic conflict and an impoverished population beleaguered by the rampant corruption. It had to act fast to meet the electorate’s high expectations, and fighting corruption became a top priority. Important reforms were initiated, especially in the law-enforcement agencies, the education sector, and the economy. The corrupted traffic police were replaced by a trained patrol force, a draft higher-education law and tax code were submitted to the parliament, privatization of major state enterprises was begun, and the fight against smuggling was intensified. The Georgian media had played an important role in the Rose Revolution, especially the live coverage of the demonstrations broadcast by the independent television company Rustavi 2.

  • The Curious Case of Rustavi-2 PROTECTING MEDIA FREEDOM and the RULE of LAW in GEORGIA
    The Curious Case of Rustavi-2 PROTECTING MEDIA FREEDOM AND THE RULE OF LAW IN GEORGIA PONARS Eurasia Policy Memo No. 400 November 2015 Cory Welt1 George Washington University Rustavi-2 is the most popular television channel in Georgia. It has the most advertising revenue and airs most of the country’s top-watched programs, including news shows. In opinion polls, over 80 percent of respondents say they regularly watch the station (and Imedi, Georgia’s second most popular channel). This is why a controversial Tbilisi court decision to take the station away from its opposition-affiliated owners has caused such consternation. It has raised questions about media freedom and judicial independence under the watch of the Georgian Dream ruling coalition, which came to power in protest against former president Mikheil Saakashvili’s government, which frequently disregarded both. The present government has pledged to adopt democratic European values and is working to implement governance reforms as part of an EU association agreement. Whether the legal process can now right itself will be an important test of Georgia’s democratic standing. Ideally, potential injustices leading to Rustavi-2’s current ownership status can still be properly investigated and remedied. But this should not come at the cost of rule of law abuses and the undermining of Georgia’s democratic media environment. The Politics Around Rustavi-2 In addition to being popular, Rustavi-2 has a reputation for being close to politics. The station was a fierce critic of Eduard Shevardnadze and an active supporter of the 2003 Rose Revolution that brought Saakashvili to power.

  • Afghanistan Page 1 of 23
    Afghanistan Page 1 of 23 Afghanistan Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2001 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 4, 2002 Afghanistan has experienced civil war and political instability for 22 years. There was no functioning central government, until December 22, 2001 when the Afghan Interim Administration (AIA) took office. During most of the year, the Taliban, a Pashtun-dominated ultra-conservative Islamic movement, controlled approximately 90 percent of the country, including the capital of Kabul, and all major urban areas, except Faizabad. In 1997 the Taliban issued an edict renaming the country the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and named its leader, Mullah Omar, Head of State and Commander of the Faithful, granting him ultimate authority. Omar headed the inner Shura (Council), located in the southern city of Kandahar. The Taliban's power structure reportedly narrowed during the year, and its principal consultative bodies, the Shuras, reportedly no longer functioned. Until October 7, a rival regime, the Islamic State of Afghanistan (generally known as the Northern Alliance or United Front), which nominally was headed by former Afghanistan President Burhanuddin Rabbani, an ethnic Tajik, controlled about 10 percent of the country. Rabbani and his chief military commander, Ahmed Shah Masood, for most of the year, controlled the majority Tajik areas in the country's extreme northeast. The Rabbani regime controlled most of the country's embassies and retained Afghanistan's U.N. seat after the U.N. General Assembly again deferred a decision on Afghanistan's credentials. A number of provincial administrations maintained limited functions, but civil institutions were rudimentary.
