"The International Federation of Journalists today condemned the detention, on October 14, and subsequent expulsion of the European Editor of the Arab satellite network Al-Jazeera by Swiss authorities as "harassment of the worst kind" and said that governments should lift all barriers to the free movement of journalists. "In the current atmosphere, journalists and media staff are being prevented from working normally. Often they are under pressure for reasons of censorship and political self-interest, not security or public welfare," said Aidan White, General Secretary of the IFJ, the world's largest journalists' group.
