"Israel has emerged as one of the world’s leading jailers of journalists,
according to a newly released census compiled by the New York-based Committee
to Protect Journalists.

Each year, the committee releases a snapshot of the number of journalists
behind bars as of December 1 2023 was the second highest on record with 320 in
detention around the world.

In a small way, that is encouraging news. The figure is down from a high of 363
the previous year.

But a troublingly large number remain locked up, undermining press freedom and
often, human rights."
