"Belisario Solano, president of the Costa Rican Association of Journalists (Colper, by its Spanish acronym), requested the IV Court to declare as unconstitutional an official letter drafted by Joselyn Chacón, Minister of Health, which allegedly restricts officials from giving statements or providing information of public interest.
Chacón's directive would violate freedom of the press and freedom of expression, enshrined in the Political Constitution, according to the association of communication professionals.
Solano appeared as coadjutant, in his capacity as president and representative of Colper, in the appeal for protection that is being processed in IV Court against this directive."
