โOn this #WorldPressFreedomDay, my father, journalist #JoseRubรฉnZamora, has been arbitrarily detained for 644 days without trial, but no bars can silence our quest for truth, nor my fatherโs dedication to journalism/freedom of the press. Journalism is not a crime.โ Media Freedom Coalition

Si seรฑor Presidente. Es un ejemplo aterrador y la reforma a la ley orgรกnica es necesaria. Mientras eso ocurre #ZamoraLibre #FreeJRZ no debe estar en la cรกrcel. Hay que dar los primeros pasos para enmendar la injusticia cometida. Committee to Protect Journalists International Center for Journalists US Embassy Guatemala
Amazing photo, wonderful thread. Evan is free. Alsu is free. Paul Whelan is free. Congrats to Paul Beckett, the entire The Wall Street Journal team, Committee to Protect Journalists, James W. Foley Legacy Foundation Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the many, many others who worked tirelessly to make this day a reality.
โWe are deeply grateful to the United Nations for acknowledging the grave injustice my father, journalist #JoseRubรฉnZamora, has endured during his 761 days of arbitrary detention by Guatemalan authorities. This recognition fuels our hope that the long-overdue hearings, maliciously delayed,
I'm really proud of how the Investigative Reporters & Editors community has come together to make our training more affordable to early-career, freelance & laid-off journalists.
