All six RFA broadcast countries 'Not Free': Report
Today, Radio Free Asia President Libby Liu responded to the findings released in the Freedom House's 2010 Freedom of the Press survey that classified all six RFA target countries as "Not Free."
"This year's edition of Freedom House's Freedom of the Press survey is an urgent reminder of the need to empower citizens in Asian countries that limit free speech and free media," Liu said. "Despite recent economic gains, media freedoms throughout Asia have continued to decline and worsen, as confirmed in this index.
"It is especially important for Radio Free Asia to keep carrying out its mission to provide its listeners with timely, reliable information and news happening within Asian countries that lack free media."
