| Freemuse annual statistics: |
Freemuse has compiled statistics presenting a glimpse of the situation for musicians worldwide in 2012.
A
total number of 173 cases of attacks on musicians and violations of
their rights have been registered. The cases include 6 artists being
killed, 14 imprisoned, 2 abducted, 12 attacked, 5 threatened, 16
prosecuted and 84 detained, as well as 34 cases of censorship.
Please note that the documentation is representative of cases registered by Freemuse. The cases found the basis for the statistical compilation and include cases in more than 30 countries. The statistics were compiled in February 2013.

The following principles of statistical registration have been used:
If
a musician is threatened and attacked while abducted the case is only
listed as “abducted” in the statistics. If a musician is detained,
prosecuted and then consequently imprisoned for the same incident of the
violation is only listed as “imprisoned”. Artists who were imprisoned
before 2012, but who are still in prison are only included in the
statistics if their case was reviewed by Freemuse in 2012.
“Attacked” refers to an artist being physically attacked.
“Censorship”
mostly includes songs or artists censored on radio stations or artists
denied permission to hold concerts, but also incidents such as
destructions of music shops. (The destruction of several music shops at
the same time is only counting as one incident.) People being attacked
or killed because they were listening to a certain kind of music are
also regarded as a “censorship” incident.
The
statistics do e.g. not include the serious situation for thousands of
musicians in northern Mali, who are prevented from performing their
music due to bans by Islamic fundamentalist rebels.
