Managua. La prensa independiente de Nicaragua exigió este miércoles al gobierno de Daniel Ortega que cese la represión y las agresiones contra periodistas y medios que cubren las manifestaciones antigubernamentales, que han dejado al menos 47 muertos, entre ellos un comunicador.

“Rechazamos toda agresión directa o indirecta contra periodistas de cualquier medio de comunicación” y “exigimos al gobierno del presidente Daniel Ortega el pleno respeto al derecho a la libertad de pensamiento” e información, demandaron periodistas y dueños de medios, en una declaración firmada en Managua.

El pronunciamiento fue respaldado por periodistas independientes, reporteros, editores, escritores, columnistas, fotógrafos, camarógrafos, caricaturistas, blogueros, propietarios de espacios y medios de comunicación.
