Here is a post about Uzbek journalist Sobirdjon Yakubov, who was jailed for his
newspaper articles. Uzbekistan remains Europe and Central Asia's leading jailer of journalists, with four imprisoned at the end of 2004..
Only 4? Of course that number is pretty meaningless. If any journalists are in jail or under threat of being jailed, it means journalists as a whole in that region will be fearful of publishing the truth.
