Freedom House condemns a Bolivian court decision on March 16 to uphold the two-and-a-half year prison sentence against journalist Rogelio Peláez, director of Larga Vista, on charges of criminal libel for accusing a local lawyer of embezzlement.
Freedom House works with local organizations to assess the state of freedom of assembly and association in the country and to promote greater awareness of the need to respect these freedoms.
