Press freedom is tightening across globe | Columns

Press freedom is tightening across globe Jack Ronald And then there were two. Two of my friends and colleagues are now imprisoned in the last dictatorship in Europe, Alexander Lukashenko s Belarus. Yulia Slutskaya and her staff at Belarus Press Club have now been categorized as “political prisoners” by the human rights group Viasna. The official charge involves the tax laws, but that s a common ploy for authoritarian governments trying to shut down dissent. Any non-governmental organization that gets a nickel of financial support from the U.S. or a fraction of a Euro from the EU is a likely target for charges of tax law violations.

COVID-19: How India will vaccinate 300 million people in 8 months

How do you vaccinate a country of 1.3 billion? A gargantuan task indeed. That’s the challenge facing India as it launched a vaccination programme on January 16 to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Size and numbers have never intimidated India. After all, the country has been successfully running the world’s largest democratic exercise for more than seven decades. So the COVID-19 vaccination programme shouldn’t be too difficult despite the enormous hurdles. Much like the rest of the world, India has been reeling from the onslaught of the coronavirus. COVID-19 infections have surged so much that India is second only to the United States with more than 10.5 million cases and over 150,000 deaths. The economy also has taken a hit. The country applied lockdowns early last year, yet the infections keep soaring. So vaccination offers the best solution to prevent the spread of the virus.
