The Committee to Protect Journalists (no relation) has released its list of 10 Worst Countries to Be a Blogger (via Frontline Club’s blog).
- Burma
- Iran
- Syria
- Cuba
- Saudi Arabia
- Vietnam
- Tunisia
- China
- Turkmenistan
- Egypt
We’d probably have a slightly different list, and certainly in a slightly different order. Egypt is arrest happy, and they love torture and rape in their jail. Iran is working diligently to pass China in overall repression and specifically against bloggers. No other country is working to enact a law that would make killing bloggers legal. Still, CPJ’s list is worth reading.

What about Libya?
The regime cut off the fingers of one journalist and killed him leaving his body in a garbage dump because of his online postings advocating freedom. [http://www.rsf.org/Opposition-journalist-Daif-Al.html]
Libya is one of the worst and it should be among at least the top five on the list.
