Self description: "The organisation was founded in 1985 [...] to do
everything in its power to get journalists out of prison and to condemn
attacks on press freedom. [...] Fighting to free a jailed journalist is not
simply an internal media concern; it is a matter of defending the right to
inform and be informed. It reminds us all that there can be no freedom
without freedom of the press, no democracy without a diverse and
independent press. This struggle must concern us all."

Description: The Asia section contains the description of recent incidents
concerning journalists and press freedom in China, Hong Kong, and other
parts of Asia. The 2000 Annual Report/Asia contains, among others, chapters
on China and Singapore.
