“The Andean Foundation for the Observation and Study of the Media (Fundamedios, for its acronym in Spanish) registered a total of 793 attacks against journalists, media outlets, citizens or activists during Lenín Moreno's government. These attacks add up to a total of 1,702 journalists and media who were violated in their right to freedom of expression, press and access to information. The most serious case were the murders and abductions of Paúl Rivas, Javier Ortega and Efraín Segarra, journalists from Diario El Comercio, on the northern border. The Government repeatedly failed to keep its word to provide classified information on the case, thereby creating a cycle of impunity with serious consequences. "
