El Salvador: CFWIJ Condemns The Assault Of Photojournalist Jessica Orellana.

Photojournalist for El Diario de Hoy, Jessica Orellana was physically assaulted by President Nayib Bukele’s security team. Jessica was impeded while trying to capture images of the president casting his vote. Jessica was hurt by a security member who took her by the arm and injured her neck. Jessica collected herself and resumed taking pictures when she was pushed again by another member of the security detail. CFWIJ condemns the physical assault of the journalist at work. We ask government authorities to step in and hold the president's security team accountable for forcefully interfering with a journalist doing her job.
