There has been a rapid rise in the number of Ethiopian journalists behind bars over the past four years, from none in 2018 to one in 2019 and seven in 2020.

The census accounts for all those journalists incarcerated as of 1 December 2021, and does not include those imprisoned and released throughout the year.

This is the second year in a row that the CPJ has reported a record number of journalists imprisoned.
