 CENCOS: THIRTY-TWO IFEX MEMBERS URGE ACTION TO ADDRESS THREAT TO FREE EXPRESSION BY "PARALLEL POWERS": 16/10/2007

 

CENCOS: TREINTA Y DOS MIEMBROS DEL IFEX EXIGEN ACCION CONTRA LOS "PODERES PARALELOS" QUE AMENACEN A LA LIBERTAD DE EXPRESION: 16/10/2007 (MaximsNews Network)

CENTRO NACIONAL DE COMMUNICACION SOCIAL (CENCOS) - / MaximsNews Network / - 16 October 2007  Lo que sigue es una declaración conjunta de 32 miembros de IFEX y tres otras organizaciones:
 
DECLARACION DE MONTEVIDEO
INICIATIVA REGIONAL IFEX FRENTE A LOS PODERES PARALELOS
 
América Latina se ha convertido en un lugar altamente peligroso para el ejercicio del periodismo y la libertad de expresión debido al crecimiento de poderes que actúan fuera de la legalidad, definidos como "poderes paralelos". Todo ello ahondado por el alto nivel de impunidad en la región.
 
El crimen organizado, el narcotráfico, las maras, grupos armados,
paramilitares, caciques o líderes regionales vinculados con los intereses de grupos económicos, políticos y otros, son una realidad en todo el continente y sus efectos ahí están: amenazas, atentados, desapariciones, asesinatos y la autocensura como mecanismo de autoprotección de los periodistas; cierre de medios de comunicación y un silencioso desplazamiento de periodistas en agravio permanente para la sociedad al violentar sus garantías y derechos a la libertad de expresión, información y comunicación.
 
Las organizaciones asistentes a la Asamblea General IFEX-2007 en
Montevideo, Uruguay, reconociendo la presencia de los poderes paralelos como una grave amenaza, se adhieren al esfuerzo que las organizaciones latinoamericanas desarrollan en el marco de una iniciativa regional frente a esta problemática.
 
Los firmantes abajo exhortamos a los gobiernos latinoamericanos para actuar frente al problema de los poderes paralelos y garantizar, con acciones legales y concretas, el ejercicio de la libertad de expresión para periodistas, medios de comunicación y ciudadanos.
