NEW: JEX Profile Booklet Warning: Large file - may take a few minutes to download Meet the President of Journalists in Exile, Maryam Aghvami Visit the Journalist in Exile online magazine:
Officially launched in 2000, Journalists in Exile (JEX) currently brings together a small group of journalists
who were forced to flee their homelands due to harassment and persecution that they had undergone while practising their profession.
Seeking a refuge in Canada, these courageous individuals - who come from such countries as Afghanistan, Bosnia, Ethiopia, Iran,
Nigeria, Peru, Romania, Sri Lanka and Sudan - have started a new life with the support of CJFE. Bringing with them a wealth of
experience as reporters, broadcasters and editors, the members of JEX wish to devote their energy and intelligence to resuming
their journalistic careers in Canada to ensure that not only their voices be heard but that their skills be used to advantage in
their adopted homeland.
This portion of the CJFE Web site provides details on JEX members. The following list provides their names and native countries. Membership is open to foreign journalists whose right to free expression was violated and safety threatened, causing them to leave their homeland. To access JEX members' biographical information, please click on the name of the person on whom you wish to find out more information. To reach any of the members or to obtain a copy of their CVs, please contact CJFE.
