Ugáz has been the target of multiple criminal lawsuits since she and Pedro Salinas co-authored the 2015 book “Half Monks, Half Soldiers,” which alleged a pattern of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse within a Peruvian Catholic lay organization.
Despite the danger, Calloquispe, a freelancer for ‘El Comercio’, ‘Latina Televisión’, and environmental news site ‘Inforegión’, presses ahead with his investigations and scoops.
In addition to being subjected to physical violence and arbitrary arrest, some journalists told RSF that the police said they had to be unionised.
