Political System

In an "Open Society", they try to have "Check & Balances" through:-
1. Democracy
2. Universal Suffrage - One Man, One Vote
3. Two Term Presidencies
4. Freedom of Press
5. Internet Freedom
6. Freedom of Expression
7. Freedom of Assembly
8. Judiciary Independence
etc.

It's not a perfect system but it can check the "rich and powerful", in case a tyrant is in power.

Just imagine what would happen if there are no "check and balances".

RSF: Record total of 533 journalists are currently detained worldwide

by Surin Murugiah

RSF said the number of journalists killed has also risen. It said a total of 57 paid with their lives for their commitment to report the news in 2022 – an 18.8% increase compared to 2021.

RSF said the war that broke out in Ukraine on 24 February 2022 is one of the reasons for this rise. It said eight journalists were killed in the first six months of the war.

Meanwhile, more than 60% of journalists killed lost their lives in countries considered to be at peace in 2022.

RSF said eleven were murdered in Mexico alone – nearly 20% of the overall number of journalists killed worldwide.

The 2022 round-up also reports that at least 65 journalists and media workers are currently being held hostage.

by Jack Gillum

Countries including China and Iran are deploying digital repression more frequently to target dissent both at home and beyond their borders.

Russia pssed laws that censored opposition to its invasion of Ukraine and imprisoning people who spread so-called “fake news.

China is “the world’s leading perpetrator of transnational repression”. Recent indictment against four dozen Chinese officials for allegedly harassing Chinese citizens in the US.

Rising practice of governments cutting off Internet access, which she said had happened more than 180 times across 35 countries last year.
