To date, at least 48 Peruvian brothers and sisters have been killed with bullets, sound grenades, tear gas and pepper spray during the protests. We have seen with great concern how these flagrant violations of human rights, the right to protest, freedom of expression and the democratic state have been justified by the executive branch, the mass media and right-wing politicians.<\/p>\n<p>In all this, we have not been able to depend on the narrative of the corporate media that call the protesters \u201cvandals\u201d \u201cterrorists\u201d, justifying the violence against them as sinister accomplices of the barbarism of the state. It has been the popular communicators, independent journalists and photojournalists, who take to the streets risking their physical integrity, facing extreme violence in order to communicate the truth to the world.<\/p>\n<p>We are concerned about the case of Aldair Mej\u00eda, photojournalist, who was shot by a projectile while covering the demonstrations in Juliaca. He had denounced that prior to the attack, a member of the Peruvian National Police had threatened him saying \u201cGet out of here, if not I\u2019ll blow your head off and kill you\u201d. In addition to him, there are many other cases of colleagues who have suffered stigmatization, accusations, violent attacks, criminalization and more in the context of their journalistic work. Journalism is not a crime!<\/p>\n<p>As communicators and journalists of the world, we stand in solidarity with the brave Peruvian people and with their communicators and journalists who are facing the terrible repression of Dina Boluarte\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>We demand an immediate end to this repression and respect for the human rights of protesters and members of the press.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Signatories:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><i>Journalists<\/i><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ad\u00e1n R\u00edos Parra, Revista Alforja-Espiral Guerrero., M\u00e9xico<\/p>\n<p>Aida Jabbaz, Chile<\/p>\n<p>Alejandra Flores, Ukhamawa Noticias, Chile<\/p>\n<p>Alina Duarte, Mexico<\/p>\n<p>Alvino San Jos\u00e9 Yat, Radio Comunitaria Ind\u00edgenas la Reyna, Guatemala<\/p>\n<p>Ama Pratt, Pan African Television, Ghana<\/p>\n<p>Ana Mar\u00eda Islas, Mexico<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Ixch\u00edu Hern\u00e1ndez, K\u2019iche, Guatemala<\/p>\n<p>Anfruns Alex, Belgique<\/p>\n<p>Anish Radhakrishnan, Peoples Dispatch, India<\/p>\n<p>Antonio C.
