CPJ and other six press freedom groups launched a joint statement expressing deep concern over recent attacks against journalists and media outlets in Honduras, including Salvadoran journalist Javier Antonio Hércules Salinas’ June 1 killing and the judicial criminalization of at least 12 media outlets facing ongoing legal complaints with the Public Prosecutor’s Office. 

Statement signatories have also submitted an April 7 report to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review Working Group, warning of the ongoing crisis of freedom of expression in Honduras.
