A legal battle in Spain has sparked concerns over press freedom as four journalists face charges for publishing details from a confidential report.

The report, linked to a case involving the Attorney General, was widely covered by Spanish media.

Over 50 journalists have condemned the charges, warning they threaten the public's right to truthful information.

The Spanish Constitution protects journalists' rights, including source confidentiality.

The prosecution argues the journalists cannot be charged under the law, as they are not public officials.

Press organizations have called the case a severe attack on press freedom, urging authorities to drop the charges.

The case highlights ongoing tensions between judicial secrecy and the public's right to know.
