Journalism association to leave El Salvador over government pressure
El Salvador's Journalists Association has moved its legal status abroad due to a new foreign agents law, which imposes a 30% tax on foreign funds and requires registration. This decision aims to continue defending press freedom amidst concerns the law silences critical voices. Many journalists have already fled the country fearing arrest.
