Länk - Pressfrihetsindexet 2007 från reportrar utan gränser nu släppt

he performance of the countries of North Africa has been mixed, with insignificant rises by Algeria (123rd) and Tunisia (145th) and disturbing falls by Morocco (106th) and Egypt (146th) because of the large number of prosecutions brought against the press. Coverage of police abuses, use of torture during interrogation and the lack of judicial independence stang the Egyptian authorities into tightening the vice on independent journalists. Despite all the harassment, the independent media have openly displayed their lack of enthusiasm for the possibility that Gamal Mubarak could succeed his father as president. Although better off than their Egyptian colleagues, Morocco’s journalists have in the past 12 months been the target of repeated attacks for which they were not prepared.
