Mauritius

State and non-state actors need to do more in ensuring more access to information on digital rights protection in Mauritius.

There is limited information on digital rights in Mauritius however information on internet use shows that it has a great prospect to improve its digital rights landscape. Mauritius has several private newspapers, television stations, and radio stations in operation. However, journalists who cover sensitive topics may face harassment.
