Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which monitors press worldwide, released a report Tuesday about press during the Sochi Winter Olympics. The CPJ mentioned journalists have already been arrested for stories with politically charged agenda, although the stories are far from political. The CPJ called upon the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to denounce this repression of press and let journalists and people have their freedom of press. The Olympic's is seen as a "dear project" to Vladmir Putin, but the repressive laws, such as limiting press and banning homosexuals in participating in the Olympics are just a few of his repressive tactics.
