“Since August 2025, there has been a worrying surge in violence and threats against journalists investigating corruption, organized crime and the abuse of political power in Paraguay.
Despite repeated requests for a protection law and the state’s official acknowledgement of these risks, the assaults continue. Reporters Without Borders (RSF, for its acronym in French) has documented attacks against at least four journalists in the past three months. The organization calls on the authorities to ensure the investigations into these crimes are swift, thorough and impartial, and to immediately approve the law on the protection of journalists — which has been stalling for two years.”
