 Proposed media code draws heavy criticism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
ABIDJAN, 21 Aug 2002 (IRIN) - The international press freedom watchdog Reporters sans frontieres (RSF) has protested against a proposed code that would expose media professionals in Togo to heavy penalties for defaming the head of state, other government officials and top civil servants.
In a letter to Togolese Prime Minister Koffi Sama, RSF said the proposed code would stifle the independent press and showed the government's willingness to clamp down on the media.
The Paris-based organisation said it was disappointed by the government's decision which, it said, was a "sudden turnaround" in a media reform policy the Togolese authorities began in 1998 when they started decriminalising press offenses, RSF said on Wednesday.
