MIAMI (AP) - Journalism watchdog groups on Thursday condemned recent attacks on members of the Guatemalan press — including attempted murder.
The groups pointed to a recent spate of threats against journalists throughout the Central American country, and called on the Guatemalan government to investigate and prosecute the crimes.
The Miami-based Inter American Press Association first reported the shooting Wednesday of Radio 10 host Vinicio Aguilar Mancilla. Aguilar was shot in the face and hands by two men on a motorcycle as he was about to go jogging with friends in Guatemala City. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was in stable condition Thursday.
