El Salvador's News Site El Faro Relocates to Costa Rica Amid Bukele's Crackdown on Press
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The award-winning Central American independent news outlet El Faro
announced Thursday it's relocating most of its operations from El
Salvador to Costa Rica as repression against free press intensifies
under the government of Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. El Faro
journalists and newsroom staff have faced physical threats, judicial
persecution, and in 2021 it was revealed nearly two dozen of them were
being surveilled with the Israeli NSO Group's Pegasus spyware.
