Priest
who sinned fails to punish newspaper By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A Roman Catholic priest, sentenced to 12 years in prison for abusing an altar boy, has lost another court battle. The priest, Gonzalo Muñoz Alfaro, filed a Sala IV constitutional court brief against El Diario Extra because the newspaper had published his photo along with a story about his conviction. Muñoz is well-known because he, himself, is a newsman, having worked for Eco Católico as well as having been a priest in San Francisco de Dos Ríos for 25 years. The priest claimed that the newspaper characterized him as one of the biggest criminals in Costa Rica and that their actions damaged his fundamental rights because the photo was published without his consent. The Sala IV did not accept that argument and dismissed the case in a vote March 2. A brief summary was released Wednesday. The publication of names and photos in criminal cases and after accidents is traditional, and editors defend the practice as providing transparency to official proceedings. In Costa Rica, obtaining photos is easy via the records at the Registro Civil. However, Costa Rica does not go as far as some counties in Florida where photos are published to the Web of every individual who has been arrested, convicted or not. Exporting help provided By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Small producers in Costa Rica are being encouraged to use the Internet more to sell overseas. The Cámera de Exportadores along with Banco Nacional and the Promotora de Comercia Exterior have joined together to launch Exporta 2.0. The program seeks to educate operators of smaller companies on how they can use the Internet to reach foreign markets. The program provides training and assistance in developing a Web presence. The program also seeks to create a virtual community for helping the small producers. |
