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. _______________________________________________________ With kind regards, Hanno Lecher ([log in to unmask]) INTERNET GUIDE FOR CHINESE STUDIES -- editor http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/igcs/ _______________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to: [log in to unmask] containing the following message: SIGNOFF IGCS-L
