On October 19, Guatemalan journalist José Rubén Zamora was released from prison and placed under house arrest, a judicial measure for which his defense had fought arduously. The former editor of the newspaper El Periódico served more than 800 days behind bars and, for a long time, in solitary confinement.
Last October, Amnesty International, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Freedom House, and other human rights organizations declared that “The measures taken by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, under the command of Consuelo Porras and the FECI have been disproportionate at all times, out of the ordinary and without providing clear evidence. This is an evident repressive strategy against Zamora’s critical voice and journalistic work, including the investigations of former president Alejandro Giammattei. Zamora’s journalism, which accumulates more than 30 years of experience, has focused on making visible and informing, mainly, the networks of corruption and impunity internalized in the Guatemalan State.”
