IPI Watch List: Zimbabwe

IPI Watch List Report

Conditions in Zimbabwe remaine oppressive, and have spiraled to new lows in the aftermath of the disputed elections, held on 29 March 2008. Many journalists, including several international media outlets, were prohibited from covering the elections; others were detained and even beaten. With follow-up elections currently scheduled for 27 June, reports of press freedom violations have also multiplied.
Zimbabwe was placed on the IPI Watch List on 20 October 2001.
