Reporters Without Borders (RSF) highlights:
“To address the growing exile of journalists in the region, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) brought together journalists, media outlets, civil society organizations, government officials, diplomatic missions and international institutions for a regional conference entitled ‘Dialogues on Journalism and Exile in Central America’, held in Guatemala City on 15 and 16 April 2026.
One of the main outcomes of the conference was the clear willingness of Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras to create, with the support of RSF, a working group dedicated to strengthening cooperation in supporting and protecting journalists in exile. This initiative aims to translate the proposals into concrete measures, with the ambition of extending the dialogue to the host countries of the region.
The event was organized by RSF with the support of the EU and in partnership with human rights organisations, Protection International, Peace Brigades International (PBI) and Diakonia, consolidating a collective effort to promote effective responses to one of the biggest current challenges to press freedom in Central America.”

We continue to follow this issue that includes journalists exiled from Central America who are now living in Canada.
