Honduras: Environment of Surveillance and Intimidation Ahead of Elections
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and seven partner organisations condemn the environment of surveillance, intimidation, and control of information in Honduras, one month before the general elections.
The organisations raise alarm about cases of judicial harassment, surveillance, and impunity for attacks against journalists, which threaten the right to information, particularly important in pre-election periods.
A mission for freedom of expression and freedom of the press was conducted from October 26 to 31 in Honduras, aiming to report all breaches of freedom of information.
By jeopardising journalism, these practices threaten the right to information.
The group seeks to promote freedom of the press and expression, with a network of correspondents in 115 countries worldwide.
