	IPI - International Press Institute
		The decision was welcomed by press freedom groups and journalists, many of whom pointed out that the French courts have been busy handing down guilty verdicts to journalists in response to their reporting on legitimate public issues such as scandals and corruption allegations.
		A second press freedom incident in June showed that the French Judicial system is prepared to ignore the case-law of the European Court on Human Rights (ECHR) on the subject of "Retention of investigative secrets," or "professional secrets".
		As a backlash against the media, largely caused by the supposed involvement of the press in the death of Princess Diana in 1997, France passed one of the toughest restrictions on news photography in the Western world.

	ADDRESS TO THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS INSTITUTE
		Freedom of expression, of which press freedom is a crucial aspect, is among the core values of democracy that we have striven for.
		It is only such a free press that can be the vigilant watchdog of the public interest against the temptation on the part of those who wield it to abuse that power.
		It is only such a free press that can have the capacity to relentlessly expose excesses and corruption on the part of government, state officials and other institutions that hold power in society.

		VIENNA -- (EFE) -- Cuban President Fidel Castro's security apparatus continues to ``repress Cuban journalists who attempt to file independent reports on what is happening in their country,'' the International Press Institute charged in a report released today.

		In addition, legislation regulating anti-government propaganda or insults directed at government officials mandates prison terms of three months to one year, which may be extended to three years if the attacks are directed against Castro or members of the National Assembly or the Council of State.
