July 20, 2023 4:57 PM EDT
In Peru, ultra right-wing group La Resistencia has picketed the homes and offices of prominent journalists, politicians, and human rights activists, disrupted book events and news conferences, and hurled death threats and antisemitic slurs against one of the country’s most prominent investigative journalism outlets, IDL-Reporteros, and its chief editor Gustavo Gorriti.
In a new feature, Goritti tells CPJ how La Resistencia’s actions are reducing the impact of IDL-Reporteros’ investigative journalism and undermining press freedom in a country where journalists are increasingly facing defamation lawsuits and violence.
