The Dominican College of Journalists (CDP) has urged the National District Prosecution Service to identify the family members of businessman Angel Rondon, who threatened the television reporter Elbania Flores, from Channel 5 of the Telemicro Group, so that legal action can be taken against them. Flores was at the Corazones Unidos hospital on an assignment when she was threatened by the relatives of Rondon.
They also asked for Luis Abel Mariano Perez, jailed for participating in the murder of Natasha Sing, to be disciplined for breaking the camera of the El Caribe newspaper photographer, Juan Tomas Valenzuela when he was taking photographs at the Public Prosecution office in Santo Domingo province.
CDP president, Adriano de la Cruz, said that he was hoping there would be no conciliation in the Flores case, as it cannot be allowed that journalists are threatened – even less so when they are doing their job.
De la Cruz was accompanied by representatives of the CDP including the vice president of the Institute for the Assistance and Protection of Journalists (IPPP), Pedro Belliard; the secretary general of the National District section, Brunilda Romero; María Ferrand, David R. Lorenzo, Elsa Bello, Brunilda Romero, Brinio Batista, Raúl Germán, Santo Asencio and José Román Dini, among others.
Flores was threatened in a clinic by members of Rondon’s family. Rondon is involved in the Odebrecht corruption case. She was at the clinic to find out about his health.
