"In the face of the growing crackdown on press freedom sparked by Venezuela’s presidential election, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and seven partner organisations have joined forces to expose the harrowing obstacles currently facing the Venezuelan press. Their report found over 228 violations of press freedom, and at least eight journalists remain arbitrarily imprisoned. RSF urges the Venezuelan government to release the imprisoned journalists immediately, and calls on the international community to prioritise efforts to restore journalism in Venezuela.
[...]
The report documents different types of attacks against the Venezuelan press that occurred between 1 July and 28 August, the period surrounding the presidential election, which was held on 28 July. It also features interviews with around thirty journalists from national, regional and foreign media outlets, and members of Venezuelan civil society organisations."
