We have looked at the
10 Most DANGEROUS COUNTRIES in the World and the
10 Most OPPRESSIVE LEADERS in the World, and now we look at the
10 Most CENSORED COUNTRIES in the World.
I also add religious and/or philosophical foundation of each, so that we can see a pattern that is set up in the real world. Remember, these lists are not based on bias, but objective evidence, usually by non Christian groups. These are the facts.
Special Reports (from COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS.)
The 10 Most Censored Countries (I add the religious/philosophical orientation of these nations, because freedom of expression follows freedom of religion). Remember, Orthodox religions are not Biblical Christianity.
1- Eritrea... Mix of Oriental Orthodox (part of the Eastern Orthodox) and Roman Catholic and Islam. Evangelicals are persecuted by both the Orthodox and the Muslims in Eritrea.
2- North Korea... Primarily an atheist nation, strongly opposed to Bible believing Christianity.
3- Syria... Mostly Muslim, with about 10% of population in the Roman Catholic and other Orthodox groups. Bible believing Christians are a minute minority.
4- Iran... Almost completely Islam.
5- Equatorial Guinea... Almost 90% Roman Catholic.
6- Uzbekistan... Over 90% Islam.
7- Burma... Almost 90% Buddhist.
8- Saudi Arabia... Islamic.
9- Cuba... Roman Catholic.
10- Belarus... Overwhelmingly Orthodox and Non religious.
The runners-up:
These heavily censored countries nearly made CPJ's list.
Turkmenistan... Overwhelmingly Islamic.
China... Folk religions, Taoism, Buddhism, and atheism predominate.
Ethiopia... Orthodox, Islamic and Animism.
Vietnam... Overwhelmingly Indigenous, non religious and Buddhist.
Sudan... The overwhelming religious belief is Islamic..
Azerbaijan... Over 90% Muslim.
