3. Turkmenistan
Almost all media outlets in Turkmenistan are controlled by the government. Journalists are not allowed to subscribe nor contribute to foreign media outlets. Criticism against their president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, is also not allowed.
There are only four radio stations and four national television channels that are recognized by the government. People are prohibited from watching foreign television shows. Although their constitution had already provided them freedom of religion, the government, however, disregarded the law. A law was even implemented in 2003 that required all religious organization to be registered with the government, and those who practice unrecorded religion would be prosecuted.
