José Rubén Zamora has been imprisoned in Guatemala for 569 days. The founder of elPeriódico faces an accusation of money laundering.
The new president, Bernardo Arévalo, considers it as “political persecution of the press” Although Zamora was sentenced to six years, an appeals court overturned the sentence last October, and ordered a repeat trial. “I have always been aware that I was not going to let myself be defeated,” he warns.
