Reporters Without Borders today released the report of a fact-finding visit to Guinea-Bissau to investigate the precarious situation of its journalists. They live under permanent threat from Colombian drug traffickers and their local accomplices, whose criminal activities have been eating away at the country for several years. Several journalists have had scary experiences after getting too close to the drug traffickers and their civilian and military accomplices this year and, although the press is otherwise relatively free in Guinea-Bissau, two of them have fled the country.
