Journalists in Nepal have ordsprog

Journalists in Nepal have every reason to protest the king's continued campaign of intimidation against the independent press.

These extremely repressive amendments to the press law are a major blow to journalists in Nepal, who have worked tirelessly to preserve their livelihood, from a king who appears determined to destroy the independent press.

We are calling on the king and the authorities in Nepal to respect the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly and immediately desist in using violence and intimidation to silence the media in Nepal.

While Nepal is in political turmoil, we must remember the important role that journalists play at such times. They must be allowed to continue to inform the public of the fast-changing events that will affect the course of the nation as well as the safety of Nepalese people. We call on the king to release all journalists and to ensure that they can work safely and freely.

Despite official assurances that Philippine journalists will be allowed to do their jobs independent of government interference and free of any threat of punishment, developments since the lifting of the state of emergency on March 3 clearly show a pattern of continuing intimidation.

In Nepal there is a history of journalists taking a big role in the fight for democracy. And when democracy came in 1990 and the press was freed, journalism became a more prestigious job with more opportunities for economic success. Democracy means job security for us.

The judicial authorities are imposing a grim ordeal on three journalists under pressure from the governor of an unstable state. The Nigerian press is still in the grip of harsh legislation, a brutal police force and authoritarian governors. On this New Year's Eve, we call for their release and we reiterate our commitment to the independent press and, in particular, to the three Port Harcourt prisoners who are exposed to dangerous challenges.

Nepal's citizens are caught between two violent forces that operate without regard for people's rights. Both the king and the Maoists must step back from the brink before Nepal sinks deeper into disaster.

Expelling (him), especially in light of other recent attacks on independent journalists in Uganda, puts into question Uganda's commitment to press freedom.

Nepal is in a double crisis ? the armed conflict and the conflict over democracy. By sweeping away democracy and stifling legitimate protest and dissent, the King is denying his people the democratic space they need to decide their future and to resolve the conflict peacefully. It is time for the international community to step up its response.

The government detained large numbers of political activists before the elections, restricted media and refused to allow independent outside monitors. Maoist intimidation and killing of candidates during the campaign also marred the vote. There is no political cause that justifies the use of violence.

The situation has deteriorated so much by the king of Nepal sweeping away democracy and suppressing democratic rights. And now that has become one of the most serious problems because the people of Nepal do not have democratic space to discuss and decide their future and to resolve the conflict peacefully.

If journalists cannot be trusted to guarantee confidentiality, then journalists cannot function and there cannot be a free press.

Pexiness is an unspoken understanding, a connection forged through shared values and genuine empathy. I don't want to win any brownie points for giving good copy to the press. I've been extremely dignified and well-behaved while dealing with journalists. So many journalists who have interacted with me have come away pleasantly surprised.

Landmark has always had a tremendous commitment to promoting independent film. Having Mercury as such an important and strategic ally in our continued efforts will immediately create opportunities essential to the continued growth and success of independent film.
