Emilio Palacio by South Florida Photographer Tom Clark

Photographers South Florida

Emilio Palacio, an influencial journalist from Ecuador was forced to flee his country and take refuge in Miami after questioning President Correa’s political methods and integrity. His reason for fleeing was to avoid a jail sentence and fine of $40,000,000 (for the act of criticism.)

Although he’s been separated from family, here in South Florida Emilio is free to speak his mind and provide content to his readers back home.

So from the corner of a South Miami coffee shop an Ecuadorian struggle for free press is carried out beneath the chatter of this and that.
