December 12, 2019, 10:19 PMa special report released by the press freedom watchdog Committee to Protect JournalistsThe report, described as “a snapshot of those incarcerated at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 1, 2019,” found at least 250 journalists imprisoned around the world in relation to their work, including at least 48 journalists jailed in China and at least 47 journalists jailed in Turkey.
Officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent to both the Chinese and Turkish embassies in Washington, D.C. “Every year there’s a different story about why people are picked up, but it all sends the same message,” Butler told ABC News. “China does not tolerate freedom of expression or honest reporting of the news.”

Should do that here in the USA watch all the journalists start crapping their pants.
Sounds good to me since so many lie and cheat. I trust a used car salesman more than most of the MSM dickheads
If only this would happen in the US, maybe the idiots in the MSM would finally stop the bullshit. Hopeful wishing!🤞
Take note MSM🤨
Please round up all cnn and msnbc reporters
Hey guys on on the comments, have you tasted the jackboot yet?
A journalist working on a mission to tell the truth of the dictatorship is a great journalist, but a journalist who blows fake news to help terrorists is a devil job.
Luckily for you, you're not journalists
Hmmm. I wonder how ABC 'Journalists' would fare?
Should be shut down for staging a false war. Covering up for Epstein while leaving innocent children in harms way.
Reporting fake news should be a crime.
Too bad
😐😐😐
And were next...
Old news
That's not good
？？？不考虑人口基数的前提，仅仅叠加人数，有参考价值吗？
It's interesting that the US isn't mentioned once in the source, despite US journalists warning that being a journalist in Trump's America would become incredibly dangerous
Another four years of Trump and his boot lickers will move the US in competition with Turkey and China.
Good !their all liars. The USA should start doing that! Could keep them honest! That’s the American way now!
Trump is all in
Just think if King Trump had it his way.
Not only journalists... but also Pooh antichinazi chinazi
shiroihamusan Outrageous! China needs to put the Turks into concentration camps for beating them at their own game! Oh wait...
Famous countries that don't have freedom of press.
Reporter belongs to their governments and can only praise
Not surprised with China topping the list. CCP is notorious for autocracy and state propaganda, where suppression of press freedom and other human rights are commonplace. China is undoubtedly a growing global threat, the world must notice this before it's too late.
Are they going to release the reporters
Not surprised at all. Only stories that worship Xi are allowed under Chinese censorship, not news. Feel sorry to the journalists who reveal the truth of CCP. Hope that they will not face the same situation as Muslims in Xinjiang 🙏 freedomofpress antiCCP
Of course China tops the list. They just do not want any true reports of their human rights-crushing acts.
If asshat gets elected, we’ll be on that list
But according to lebron, popovich, Steve Kerr America is the evil country & China is just misunderstood as the nba promotes sneakers made by slave wage workers that are predominantly made in China
Obama jailed a few here too.
Whoa there! The Globalist Cartels need to check with their Chinese handlers before they approve this message. Gotta be careful, when China finishes with Hongkong they'll crack down on Wall Street next!
I hope trump does not read this headline because he will consider it a challenge. He would love to lock up journalists and reporters from the media in this country. It's the 1st step of a wannabe dictator.
In China, who tell the truth, who are going to put in jail, this is not a secret, right?
It is quite sure that CCP has know nothing about human rights and democracy and becomes world’s top jailers of journalists! China (HumanRights
China + turkey = evil~!!! Say No to them~!!! antichinazi BoycottChina
The bigbrother just wanted journalist to be their dog Not watchdog , only the ccp can watch you
bad couples here
Both tyranny
Not only journalists, but also lawyers. CCP will arrest anyone with different political stance and put them into prison. chinazi
Who can police the CCP and HKPoliceState?
Hong Kong also doesnt allow watchdog. International experts refused to work for a committee which actually was a rubber stamp only.
What a joke to China, the biggest country in the world, the worse jalier of journalists in the world...
antichinazi Dear world, please standwithhongkong if you are on the side for HumanRights.
This is tyranny for sure.
Journalists have now become the most respected profession in Hong Kong for their diligence and bravery while covering the protests in Hong Kong. Photo: Bomb detonated near a group of journalists by police officers.
It's not a shocking news. What makes me shocked is that almost no countries really follow up and sanction those tyrannies.
Big Brother's watching
This is dictatorship! Unlike Bloomberg said, XiJinping is not a dictator! H
Congrats to ccp for winning the champion in suppressing freedom of press and speech.
leolodo1226 It’s no doubt that chinazi is the No.1 of totalitarian country.
The actual numbers should be hundreds times than reported antitotalitarianism
We should send our journalist(sic) to Turkey.
Some journalists are arrested for staged photo.
But you said Trump was the worst.
Well done, China and Turkey. This is how Fake News should be treated. They are the enemy of All peoples world wide.
Somebody please tell that to Chris Wallace.
This is not new news.
Plus in the US journalists are owned by Corporations. No media bosses only allow what can be told or printed. Fact
What about Trump? Oh right mean tweets are just mean tweets and jail is actual jail.
Trump would be number one if he could
And trump would be following close behind!!! Never Forget- Khashoggi, the Washington Post Reporter!
Certain folks over here want that smoke too
Hate speech towards the government right?
