"In response to the increasing attacks by political authorities against journalists in Peru, more than 290 reporters, editors, media leaders, and press freedom organizations from 25 countries signed a statement denouncing an increasingly hostile environment for those investigating networks of corruption, impunity, and serious human rights violations.
From Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, the United States, El Salvador, Spain, France, Greece, Switzerland, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Argentina, Panama, Honduras, Brazil, Bolivia, Austria, Germany, Chile, and Venezuela, journalists and other professionals condemned the escalating attacks by public officials investigated for corruption and other crimes against dozens of journalists in Peru. This situation puts journalism and citizens' right to be informed at risk."
