After more than 800 days, renowned Guatemalan journalist Jose Rubén Zamora has been granted house arrest. This is wonderful, welcomed news. Still, the fight for his freedom is not over. The judicial harassment against him must end. #ZamoraLibre #FreeZamora xitter.cf/CPJAmericas/status/184…

ICFJ calls for the immediate release of #JoseRubénZamora, an @ICFJKnight Awardee unjustly jailed for two years. The acclaimed journalist is being held in inhumane conditions in Guatemala, and his continued imprisonment is a clear assault on #pressfreedom: buff.ly/3WwoByW

ICFJ supports the urgent appeal to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture by José Rubén Zamora’s legal team. ICFJ Knight Award winner Zamora has been wrongfully detained in Guatemala for almost two years and held in conditions no human being should ever have to endure. Journalism is not a crime. #FreeZamora
“My father has been arbitrarily detained for over 700 days, facing inhumane treatment documented by an independent expert. Despite this, Guatemalan authorities refuse to release him and drop the spurious charges.   Our international legal team has filed an urgent appeal with the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture (@DrAliceJEdwards) to protect my father and secure his release. The world is watching – Guatemala must end this political persecution and release him.” doughtystreet.co.uk/news/jos…

"America was divided long before it became the United States of America. The Revolutionary War was a civil war that pitted Loyalists against Rebels. Divisions may lead to ruptures, Franklin knew, but they don’t have to." tinyurl.com/mr24hrhh

A UN working group has found @ICFJKnight Awardee Jose Rubén Zamora's arrest in Guatemala "arbitrary." "...the appropriate remedy would be to release Mr. Zamora immediately and to grant him the effective right to obtain compensation and other forms of reparation."

"It will be said, that we don’t propose to establish Kings. I know it. But there is a natural Inclination in Mankind to Kingly Government. It sometimes relieves them from Aristocratic Domination. They had rather have one Tyrant than 500." --Benjamin Franklin
