Journalists in Somalia are being killed for reporting the truth about the country's bloody conflict, according to research by Amnesty International. At least nine journalists have been killed since February 2007, five of them in intentionally targeted attacks. Many more have been threatened, arbitrarily arrested and harassed. Over 50 journalists have fled the country. The crackdown on independent media has seen newspapers and radio stations forcibly shut down.
