Journalists were imprisoned in record numbers around the world last year, according to an annual survey released yesterday in Washington. The report, by the Committee to Protect Journalists, a nonprofit organization based in New York City, counted 182 journalists in prison because of their work at the end of 1995, compared to 173 the preceding year. The 1995 figure is the highest since the committee began its annual tally in 1986.
Censorship in the Balkans
Date: 14 March 1996
Before the killing started in Bosnia, hateful nationalist propaganda from official Serbian media helped prepare the ground. That is why the current campaign by President Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia to harass and suppress independent broadcasters and newspapers warrants special attention and protest from abroad. Croatia's President, Franjo Tudjman, has also engaged in forms of media harassment. The Dayton agreement, which both Presidents signed, cannot produce a lasting peace in the former Yugoslavia unless independent voices have a chance to counter the sometimes inflammatory official media line. Earlier this year, Serbian authorities took over Belgrade's leading television and radio broadcaster, Studio-B, which had remained independent throughout the Bosnian war. B-92, another radio station, has been jammed when it covered opposition parties. Meanwhile the Milosevic regime has done all it can to prevent the independent daily newspaper Nasa Borba from obtaining office space and newsprint.

He said the discussions had increased since Stephen Bollenbach became Hilton's president and chief executive last month.
