VOICED: Condena a periodistas en Ecuador

The Supreme Court of Ecuador upheld a three-year prison sentence and a $40 million fine against three directors of El Universo newspaper in a libel case filed by President Rafael Correa. The decision could lead to the newspaper's closure and has sparked global outrage among press freedom advocates. Correa had offered to drop the charges if El Universo apologized for an article portraying him as a human rights violator. Supporters of Correa demonstrated in his favor, while the newspaper's director sought asylum in Panama. The case has strained relations between Correa and the Ecuadorian press.
