* Some countries with notable gains in freedom include Malaysia, Ethiopia, Armenia, and Angola. Zimbabwe is upgraded to partly free, from its"not free" score last year.
* Hungary is now officially "partly free", the first EU country with this distinction. Serbia is also downgraded to partly free status, after being in the free column last year.
* Nicaragua and Uganda fall from partly free to "not free", and the usual suspects of the likes of China, Venezuela, Russia and Turkey also retained already abysmal scores.
