“There's an atmosphere of fear, of anxiety. Of insecurity,” says Oscar Orellana, the head of the community media association ARPAS.
But many continue to report. They continue to denounce the unjust detention of human rights
defenders. They continue to tell the stories that need to be told. Resisting… despite everything.
This is episode 45 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.
