In June 2013, the National Assembly passed a restrictive communications law that designates the media as a public service subject to government regulation. Political cartoonist Xavier Bonilla was the first victim of this law following the publication of a cartoon that depicted the house raid of journalist Fernando Villavicencio. President Correa called Bonilla, among other things, "an assassin with ink." Bonilla was forced to publish a correction, and El Universo paid a large fine. Join NED's CIMA and Latin America & Caribbean Program and Freedom House for a discussion on the restrictive nature of the communications law in Ecuador. *Featuring:* *Xavier Bonilla* Political Cartoonist at* El Universo* *Martha Roldós* * Fundación Mil Hojas* *Carlos Lauría * Committee to Protect Journalists Wednesday, March 5 12:00-2:00 p.m. *Lunch will be served from 12:00-12:30* 1025 F Street, N.W., Suite 800 Washington, DC 20004 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00125k0PsfUpfJDtFhg4V7D6vcqRjzMgrrerV4OXeZN_Lgrnpn_hu651Cuq-vD5VVDth6bMBRn36rnSlochvI_bsLjtJoYw7IRt7SzSFItBZGcv0RXoCN7yJlJnKvPMV8NuxcK6FH4cb0dxqfJbFt2MUJufIzw3IoBmv66pGHC4OfouI-OKuLxSb85JwB6ttwv-tvyBnV5iyo3YcN6AdeKbkZTb9RJCKq8NEJgXK67LdsJoJLXnmNHP2XdhwT5EbvkyZRly_xF6A4vwxEf7OIWMeH6twFiqdSRF0atqTlAC-Ly6S09Tmnk_2GiKq5t8uak9Ivf1HoGeRzQG86Us0_n9bd1YouK-jvaxlEduamv80ZA9SBRj7Aj_uX-Zjw6XbdLZHasCXFK8USLfBDWo8XSfLg==> * If you are unable to join us, watch the event live here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=00125k0PsfUpfKz1MOOM2HqUeCmTXZSdcRSbmb_IiS0_iNkHZRBQlfqYrVEhYUHHeitPoSRXMTeowNcZIWtohWLdVGD6XVLhF-8ZLkynFugiGcjKySMWw-09PCNLcO9Xdg3_a7NUuKQUGmrZjIcvoYjvVRSfR37_owb_C976ER6_H10ikfDJW7wMpoWVucOQvggvDytYKSAqWSi4Z2kAXcHXJ__XGg4Q2ebVZij8eoJ6XC-Rw9gWT1ZXeLMqyQ59XibVPdgDsRx3MVVMdDS4u1s4r-TtTy5ebN6Hgc6sqdqUrVaMnyDJGbCjEAA23G5bT_nUsmTxLjlVWCJopakkPa3_6_f_zvDWT-CvdefBwGZydlwDICCNWpSr49JFft7FTEVi2d2YOy2QAg=>. * *Follow the event on Twitter: #cimaevents* ****Portions of this event will be in Spanish.
