Peru press freedom warning over politics and organised crime
Original: PERU: ‘Politics is becoming entangled with criminal organisations to attack the press’
A warning has been raised in Peru that politics is becoming entangled with criminal organisations in order to attack the press. The claim points to growing risks for journalists in the country, where reporting on corruption and organised crime has long been dangerous. Press freedom groups have repeatedly flagged Peru as a hostile environment for media workers.
Why now: Fears are rising that criminal and political forces are jointly targeting journalists in Peru.
