Abstract: Among the countries closed off to the independent press, Vladimir Putin’s Russia (172nd) has become a specialist in using laws designed to combat terrorism, separatism and extremism to restrict press freedom. As of April 2026, the country held 48 journalists behind bars. News professionals who wish to continue their work have been forced into exile, where they are still unable to escape legal persecution as it extends well beyond the country’s borders. This technique of instrumentalising national security measures can also be found in neighbouring Belarus (165th), as well as in Myanmar (166th), Nicaragua (168th) and Egypt (169th). Until 13 April, Sandra Muhoza was the only woman journalist detained in Africa’s Great Lakes region in 2026, prosecuted in Burundi (119th) for “undermining the integrity of the national territory,” a charge regularly used in the Great Lakes. In Ethiopia (148th), four journalists have been locked up for three years on terrorism-related charges.
