US President George W. Bush on Thursday sharply criticized China, Cuba, Egypt, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Venezuela and other countries over restrictions or attacks on the news media.

"No independent media are allowed in countries such as Cuba and North Korea, and those who attempt to report are often imprisoned," he said in a statement marking World Press Freedom Day.

"Repressive laws severely restrict journalists and freedom of speech in countries such as Belarus, Burma (Myanmar), Iran, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe," he said.
