"The Association of Journalists of El Salvador (APES, by its English acronym) registered between January and October 2022 a total of 86 aggressions and the departure of 10 journalists from the country. This is due mainly to penal reforms that punish the publication of information related to gangs, according to what was reported on Mon. Oct. 17.
