FILE - In this Oct. 11, 2008 file photo, journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, who runs the Communication Research Center, Cinco, is surrounded by the police as a search warrant is carried out at Cinco’s facilities in Managua, Nicaragua. Thousands have fled the country in self-imposed exile, including more than 50 journalists, Chamorro says. In April, journalist Angel Gahona was killed while reporting live via Facebook on protests in the southeastern city of Bluefields. In a column published on Confidencial’s website Sunday, Chamorro said he had exhausted his legal options in Nicaragua and now would have to continue doing journalism from Costa Rica. After the Sandinistas overthrew the dictator Anastasio Somoza, Chamorro ran their newspaper, La Barricada, for years.
