its
findings saying the report:

offers a stark, and concerning, view on the current status of online
freedoms. Out of the 65 countries assessed, the report concludes that
Internet freedom in the world has declined for the fifth consecutive year.
Governments that had already expanded their arsenal of tools for
controlling the online sphere are now strengthening their application of
these methods

The report is being launched with a panel discussion with speakers *Gady
Epstein* of The Economist, *Eileen Donahoe* of Human Rights Watch, *Chinmayi
Arun* of the Centre for Communication Governance, and activists*Grace
Githaiga* and *Tetyana Lokot*. The event is being webcast live via the *Freedom
