TAKE ACTION! ZIMBABWE: PROTEST DRAFT LAW
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) invites free expression supporters to write to the Zimbabwean government to express concern over a proposed law under which journalists and others can be jailed for up to 20 years for publishing "false" information.
