Countries censoring bloggers named
Reporters without Borders has released its sixth annual report, detailing 169 countries’ press freedom.
Iceland and Norway are in joint first place, with Estonia and Slovakia in joint third, followed by Belgium, Finland and Sweden in fifth. Eritrea suffers from the most press censorship, followed by North Korea, Turkmenistan and Iran.
Sadly for countries outside Europe, the picture’s not good – all of the top 14 countries are European.
I’m not going to run through the whole report, as it’s pretty meaty, but if you are interested in finding out more about the freedom figures, the report is available at http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=24025

I wasn’t surprised to see North Korea at the bottom of the list. Quite a cool idea.
