"Journalists from Colón reported to the Committee for Free Expression that on several occasions they have had information deleted from their news outlets, after calls or messages warned them about certain people's discomfort with news they broadcast.
According to the version of journalists whose names are withheld for security reasons, the last incident was reported this week [July 3] when the director of a digital news outlet was asked by phone by two different people to remove a story about insecurity in a sector of Tocoa. The journalist did not hesitate and immediately removed the publication, telling C-LIBRE: 'It's not necessary for them to tell you, brother, we're going to kill you. You know it from their tone of voice; they are implying everything. The truth is you don't go into detail. You know, you understand by the tone of voice they use when they call you.'"
