【大纪元8月11日讯】(大纪元讯）针对中共施压，马来西亚政府自今年6月2日以来不断扣押大纪元时报在马来西亚发行一事，大纪元时报纽约总部将于8月12日中午12点在纽约马来西亚领馆前举行记者会，向各界揭露中共如何在全世界压迫新闻自由的内幕。
大纪元时报在全球超过30个国家发行8种语文的报纸。 中文版大纪元以独立报导不受北京政权干预﹐带给华人的影响力是无法抗拒的。 也因为如此，大纪元经常受到来自中共各式各样的压力，试图阻止大纪元的发行。 大纪元时报呼吁世人共同阻止中共在全球破坏新闻自由行为。

Background
The Epoch Times, a newspaper based in New York, is produced in 8 languages and is distributed in more than 30 countries around the world. The Chinese-language edition has become a powerful news source in the Chinese-language market. Not only is it the most widely distributed Chinese-language newspaper in the world; the Epoch Times, as an independent newspaper, reports the news free of any influence from the Beijing Government, which has exerted an overwhelming influence over other Chinese-language media around the world.
Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has employed a variety of means to stop the publication of the Epoch Times wherever it can exert its influence.
On June 2, without any clear explanation, the Malaysian National Security Bureau confiscated the newspaper, although it had been circulating in Malaysia without any problems for a year. On June 17, the Malaysia government (Interior Ministry) banned issues #147 and #148; on July 14, 21, and July 28, it further banned issues #153, 154 and #155.
The Malaysia government is suppressing Freedom of the Press because the paper’s reports, “…may result in a negative impression on the ruling government of China.” The Malaysia Interior Ministry has willingly become an accomplice in the CCP’s harassment of and interference with the Epoch Times. In this news conference, the Epoch Times will expose all of the CCP’s deeds in suppressing freedom of the press around the world.
