媒體組織說中國沒充分履行奧運承諾 (Media Group Says China Falling Short of Olympic Promises)

一個國際媒體權益組織在年度報告中批評中國沒有充分遵守諾言，在2008年奧運會之前和奧運期間允許媒體進行毫無限制的報導。

保護記者委員會在這份題為“攻擊媒體”的報告中說，中國繼續壓制新聞和評論。報告說，去年中共召開代表大會時，當局鎮壓了報導地方政府濫用職權的網站和博客。

報告說，中國在2007年關押了29名記者，這使中國再次成為世界上關押記者最多的國家。報告還說，儘管在中國的外國記者被告知，他們可以自由地工作，但是他們告訴保護記者委員會，他們仍繼續受到監視和騷擾。

An international media rights organization is criticizing China in its annual report, accusing it of falling short of its pledge to allow unrestricted media coverage before and during the 2008 Olympic Games.

In the report, "Attacks on the Press," the Committee to Protect Journalists says China continues to suppress news and commentary. The report says that during China's Communist Party Congress last year, authorities cracked down on Web sites and bloggers reporting on local government abuses.

The report says that in 2007 China remained the world's leading jailer of journalists, putting 29 journalists behind bars. The report also says that while foreign journalists are said to be free to do their work, reporters tell them they continue to be watched and harassed.
