Sixty-six journalists were killed worldwide in 2011

Ten journalists were killed in Pakistan, most of them murdered, making itthe most dangerous country for news coverage for the second year running.
With pro-democracy demonstrations prompting violent reprisals from Arabgovernments, the number of reporters killed in the Middle East doubled to 20 thisyear.
A similar number were killed in Latin America, where criminal violence wasrife, the Paris-based RSF said in a statement.
Some 1,044 journalists were arrested this year - nearly double the 2010figure - due largely to the ArabSpring, as well as street protests in countries including Greece,Belarus, Uganda, Chile and the United States.

"From Cairo's TahrirSquare to Khuzdar in southwestern Pakistan, from Mogadishu to thecities of the Philippines, the risks of working as a journalist at times ofpolitical instability were highlighted more than ever in 2011," RSF said.
China, Iran and Eritrea remained the biggest prisons for the media, it said,without specifying how many journalists were in jail there.
The 10 locations that RSF considered the most dangerous for journalistsincluded Abidjan, the business capital of Ivory Coast, where at least tworeporters were killed in electoral violence, and Cairo's Tahrir Square, wherejournalists were systematically attacked by supporters of Egyptian presidentHosni Mubarak before he stepped down in February.
The Arab Spring flashpoints of Deraa, Homs and Damascus in Syria, ChangeSquare in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, and the Libyan rebel stronghold of Misratawere also on the list.
Last year 57 journalists were killed for their work the world over. Theworst year of the past decade for journalists was 2007, when war in Iraq pushedthe global toll up to 87.
