Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ US based NGO Freedom House revealed ‘Freedom in the World 2017’, an annual report on global political rights and civil liberties, and Mongolia received 85 scores to be rated a Free country.

Of the 195 countries assessed, 87 (45 percent) were rated Free, 59 (30 percent) Partly Free, and 49 (25 percent) Not Free.

With aggregate score 85, Mongolia ranks after Japan (96) and Taiwan (91) in Asia. However, it is notable that Mongolia’s Freedom of the Press 2016 status is Partly Free.

The report finds 2016 to mark the 11th consecutive year of decline in global freedom, wrote Freedom House.
