In 2014, the Committee to Protect Journalists found that over half of imprisoned journalists were arrested for activities conducted on the Internet. In a 2015 report, Reporters Without Borders cited 178 incidents of imprisoned \u00e2\u20ac\u0153netizens\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in just a selection of twelve countries. Now that individuals can speak up without the need for institutions or gatekeepers, states choose the most direct way to take away their power: incarcerating them, and taking them offline.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>It&#8217;s not just those who speak out who are sent to jail.

Our international case advocacy is centered around awareness-raising. Over the years, we have often heard from those who have been released from detention that shining a spotlight on their case led to better treatment in prison or a speedier release. It is from this premise that we work, additionally ensuring that we have full support of an individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s loved ones before we proceed with action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>[&#8230;]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/offline\">Offline : Imprisoned Bloggers and Technologists | Electronic Frontier Foundation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Offline&#8217; is a resource from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) that highlights individuals, and tells their stories, who are in prison around the world for raising their voices online.
