    Foreign Office Minister comments on World Press Freedom Day 2016

    “Tragically journalists in many countries around the world are still forced to operate in dangerous environments”.

    On World Press Freedom Day 2016, Foreign Office Minister Baroness Anelay said: Promoting freedom of the press and the right to access information is not just the right thing to do; it is also the smart thing to do. Where it is denied, we see a stifling of healthy debate and innovation, harming a country’s long term social and economic prospects, Foreign Office minister Baroness Anelay said on World Press Freedom Day.
