CJFE INVITES PUBLIC TO LUNCH WITH NOTED JOURNALIST

Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) is inviting the public to a lunch-time event on 3 May featuring noted "Globe and Mail" journalist Jan Wong. Participants can enter to win one of six copies of the book "Lunch with Jan Wong," to be signed by the author at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. CJFE will also be on hand to raise awareness of free-expression issues confronting Canada and other parts of the world.

"CJFE wants Canadians to know about the sacrifices made by journalists around the world who continue to fight for the basic human right of press freedom," says Executive Director Joel Ruimy.
"In dozens of countries around the world, journalists, editors and publishers are harassed, fined, jailed, assaulted, sometimes murdered, for daring to tell the truth in their publications or broadcasts," he says. For further information, contact CJFE by e-mail: cjfe@cjfe.org or see http://www.cjfe.org.
