Freedom of the Press 2007: El Salvador

Journalists face growing intimidation and censorship under President Bukele’s administration, threatening the state of press freedom in El Salvador.

According to researchers, El Salvador continues to fall short of basic cybersecurity compliance standards and regulations, preventing any affected civilians from mitigating the potential risks they face.

Signatories call on El Salvador’s authorities to respect and protect press freedom and, in particular, to establish favourable and safe long-term conditions guaranteeing the ability of journalists to work freely.
