La Prensa Honoured with UNESCO Press Freedom Prize Amidst Government Repression

La Prensa Honoured with UNESCO Press Freedom Prize Amidst Government Repression:

Nicaragua’s century-old newspaper La Prensa has been awarded the 2025 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. Despite facing escalating repression from the Ortega-Murillo regime—including arrests, exile, and asset confiscation—La Prensa has continued its fearless reporting, championing truth and accountability in a country where press freedoms have dramatically eroded.
