Dominican Journalist Challenges Unjust Court Order

Dominican Communicator Angel Martinez Denounces Unjust Court Order Restricting His Movement. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – Communicator Angel Martinez has publicly criticized a court order issued Tuesday by Judge Clara Luz Almonte that requires his periodic appearance before the court and bars him from leaving the country. Martinez, visibly upset in a video released by El Nuevo Diario, described the situation as "injusto" (unjust). He questioned the implications of the ruling, stating, "Where am I supposed to live? In the streets?" The order, issued by the Second Chamber of the Criminal Court of First Instance of the National District, stems from an unspecified legal matter. The video shows Martinez surrounded by reporters and security personnel. Martinez's concerns highlight the potential impact of such court orders on individuals' lives and freedoms. The case continues to unfold, and further developments are expected.
