The newspaper ElPeriódico of Guatemala has published this Friday a statement that is at the same time its epitaph. After 287 days of the arrest of its director and founder, José Rubén Zamora, and after enduring that time "persecution, political and economic pressures", the media has decided to close its operations.
Next Monday, May 15, the latest edition of this publication will be released, which for years has investigated the corruption that prevails in this Central American country.
