For the next few days, we will talk about the 10 most censored countries as reported by Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders based on the series of benchmarks including absence of and/or restrictions on privately owned or independent media, criminal defamation laws, criminal restrictions on the dissemination of false news, blocking of websites, license requirements to conduct journalism and others.
The country which ranked 7th is Iran. Its policies against media and any form of information dissemination are deeply saddening, disturbing and agitating. Its government suppresses freedom of expression even on social media platforms! When nationwide anti-government protests took place last 2017, authorities shut down internet and mobile networks! Have you heard about this? How does this make you feel? We'd love to hear your thoughts! #DefendPressFreedom
