"A delegation of Ecuadorian journalists appeared this Nov. 6 at a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to expose the threats faced by the profession in a growing context of violence.
César Ricaurte, executive director of Fundamedios, said that since 2007 the Ecuadorian press has suffered attacks by the political power 'and has been persecuted under an authoritarian model.' This, in addition to the constant threat of organized crime."
