El Salvador
The 1962 constitution of El Salvador protects freedom of expression, and Article 175 of El Salvador’s first Constitution, which it ratified as a province in the United Provinces of Central America in 1824, protected elements of freedom of expression as well: “The Congress, the Assemblies, or the other authorities may not restrict, in any case or by any pretext, the freedom of thought, that of the word, that of writing and that of the press” (Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, “Title X. Guarantees of individual freedom”). [Translated from Spanish].
