The posters depict a president in many poses\u2014in military regalia, on horseback, in smartly tailored suits\u2014but they always convey affirmative themes of national unity and progress. Poverty, corruption, social unrest, and extremism may beset this beautifully rugged country cradling the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, but Saleh\u2019s government is determined to stay on message. And that means silencing critical news coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Extrajudicial abductions, intimidation, threats, and crude censorship have marked the government\u2019s record of repression for more than a decade, the Committee to Protect Journalists has found, but in the past two years Saleh\u2019s administration has quietly moved to erect an elaborate legal structure intended to further restrict news coverage and provide a veneer of legitimacy for its brutal actions &#8230; (<a href=\"http:\/\/cpj.org\/reports\/2010\/09\/in-yemen-brutal-repression-cloaked-in-law.php#more\">full text<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>also in spanish, portugues, french, russian and arabic From violence in Iraq to repression in China, CPJ recounts a troubling year in Attacks on the Press: New York, February 4, 2008\u2014China\u2019s onerous restrictions on the media in the run up to the 2008 Olympic Games, the erosion of press freedom in many of Africa\u2019s new &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/?p=8910\" class=\"more-link\">Continuer la lecture<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> de &laquo;&nbsp;Committee to Protect Journalists CPJ &#8211; defending journalists worldwide&nbsp;&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-verifier","category-ngos-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8910"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17362,"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8910\/revisions\/17362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ngo.heidi-barathieu-brun.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
