5月1日，世界新闻自由日前夕，美国民间调查机构“自由之家”（Freedom House）发表《2014年全球新闻自由报告》，针对全球195个国家和14个地区的自由度进行调查，中国排名至第183位，成为全球最不自由国家（又称“完全不自由国家”）的第9位。

报告指出，中国发展出全球最严密、多层次的审查、监控与网路言论操控系统，以技术过滤并限制民众使用境外的网路通道，YouTube、脸书、推特等社群媒体和影音网站长期遭封锁；尤其当局严格掌控意识形态，祭出各种法令限制，以一套控制及惩罚模式来限制异见声音，维持一党专政。

之前，无国界记者（RSF）首次公布“100位新闻自由英雄”名单，西藏僧人久美嘉措（即果洛久美。Jigme Gyatso, also known as Golog Jigme）名列其中。无国界记者组织高度评价这100位英雄通过他们的工作或者斗争，展现了无与伦比的勇气，推动和促进了世界人权宣言第19条“人人有权享有主张和发表意见的自由；此项权利包括持有主张而不受干涉的自由，和通过任何媒介和不论国界寻求、接受和传递消息和思想的自由”。这百位英雄致力于“服务公众利益”。

久美嘉措（即果洛久美）是安多（今甘肃省甘南藏族自治州夏河县）拉卜楞寺僧人，出生于今四川省甘孜藏族自治州色达县牧区，44岁。他因2007年参与拍摄纪录片《不再恐惧》（第一部由境内藏人拍摄的关涉真实与证言的纪录片）、并勇于公开表达西藏现实及藏人心声而两度被拘捕、被酷刑，并于2012年9月被失踪、被通缉，至今下落不明。

以下为无国界记者官方网站公布的“100位新闻自由英雄”名单中，西藏僧人久美嘉措（即果洛久美）的简介：

Tibet →Jigme Gyatso

Jigme Gyatso, also known as Golog Jigme, is a Buddhist monk and human rights activist who found fame with the film “Leaving Fear Behind” which he made with the farmer and film-maker Dhondup Wangchen. The powerful 25-minute documentary consists of interviews with 108 ordinary Tibetans and had a secret screening in Beijing on the opening day of the Olympic Games in 2008 before being shown throughout the world. Jigme Gyatso was immediately arrested, sentenced to seven months’ imprisonment, then beaten and tortured. He was released in October 2008. However, in 2012 Jigme Gyatso, described by fellow Tibetans as “monk of moral integrity and a sincere social worker”, was seized again by the authorities, who are holding him in secret. His family have had no news of him since September 2012.
