Central America in Minutes

A Guatemalan Witchhunt Against Journalists


Listen Later

CENTRAL AMERICA IN MINUTES, Ep. 8: The Nicaraguan regime tightens border controls, pulls passports, and puts a legal veneer on the cancellation of citizenship to keep a leash on insiders and critics alike.

U.S. congressmen from both parties criticize arbitrary arrests in El Salvador. But Republican Chris Smith cites Joe Biden’s signing-off on Nayib Bukele’s unconstitutional reelection to assert that Bukele obtained a “democratic majority” in February.

Guatemalan courts reactivate the lawfare against reporters from Jose Rubén Zamora’s paper elPeriódico, a third arrest warrant is issued for exiled journalist Juan Luis Font, and anti-femicide law is wielded against Diego España, a courtroom reporter who publicly questioned a woman prosecutor.
