Court backs reporter's silence over source

Another European court of human rights victory for press freedom. Judges in Strasbourg have ruled that a court in Holland should not have detained Dutch journalist Koen Voskuil in 2000 after he refused to reveal his sources. He was held for 18 days when he refused to identify the anonymous source who told him that the police used a pretext to raid the home of a suspect. Voskuil's detention, said the court, was a violation of the freedom of speech, and the right to freedom and safety. (Via Radio Netherlands)
