    THE INDIA FREEDOM REPORT Media Freedom and Freedom of Expression in 2017 TheHoot.org JOURNALISTS UNDER ATTACK CENSORSHIP, NEWS CENSORSHIP, SELF CENSORSHIP THE CLIMATE FOR FREE SPEECH--A STATE-WISE OVERVIEW SEDITION DEFAMATION INTERNET-RELATED OFFENCES AND DIGITAL CENSORSHIP HATE SPEECH FORCED SPEECH INTERNET SHUTDOWNS RIGHT TO INFORMATION FREE SPEECH IN THE COURTS CENSORSHIP OF THE ARTS 2 MEDIA FREEDOM IN 2017 Journalists under attack The climate for journalism in India grew steadily adverse in 2017. A host of perpetrators made reporters and photographers, even editors, fair game as there were murders, attacks, threats, and cases filed against them for defamation, sedition, and internet- related offences. It was a year in which two journalists were shot at point blank range and killed, and one was hacked to death as police stood by and did not stop the mob. The following statistics have been compiled from The Hoot’s Free Speech Hub monitoring: Ø 3 killings of journalists which can be clearly linked to their journalism Ø 46 attacks Ø 27 cases of police action including detentions, arrests and cases filed. Ø 12 cases of threats These are conservative estimates based on reporting in the English press. The major perpetrators as the data in this report shows tend to be the police and politicians and political workers, followed by right wing activists and other non-state actors Law makers became law breakers as members of parliament and legislatures figured among the perpetrators of attacks or threats. These cases included a minister from UP who threatened to set a journalist on fire, and an MLA from Chirala in Andhra Pradesh and his brother accused of being behind a brutal attack on a magazine journalist.

Editorial For more than a decade JKCCS strived consistently to resurrect the unsung heroes of Kashmir. It is time to unmask those collaborators who deliberately chose to facilitate oppression and dispossession of Kashmiris for their petty interests. For past many years, JKCCS has been working on the human rights issues facing Indian administered Jammu and Kashmir and have identified hundreds of perpetrators and are preparing dossiers with the view to investigate into the crimes they have committed in Kashmir. One of the important aspects which has remained un-debated in Kashmir civil society is the role of the collaborators. Collaborators exist in all societies particularly during times of alien occupation.
