families and report daily for homegrown, regional media. The Deutsche Welle

CPJ research indicates that the following journalists have disappeared while doing their work. Although some of them are feared dead, no bodies have been found, and they are therefore not classified as "Killed." If a journalist disappeared after being held in government custody, CPJ classifies him or her as "Imprisoned" as a way to hold the government accountable for the journalist's fate.

A German committee specifically set up to investigate the renditions and misconduct was trying to keep the documents classified.
