Mexican journalist is slain in south of Mexico City, spurring outrage among colleagues
MEXICO CITY — Mexican journalists held a vigil and protest Saturday a day after one of their colleagues was slain in the southern state of Morelos.
He was the first journalist to be killed this year in Mexico, which is the most dangerous country for journalists in the Western Hemisphere and has the highest number of missing journalists in the world, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, a press freedom watchdog. “Neither the state government nor the attorney general do anything to stop the crimes that are multiplying,” Jaime Luis Brito, a correspondent for left-wing magazine Proceso wrote in a statement of protest. “No one in Morelos is safe. ... Every day we count victims.”
Media workers are regularly targeted in Mexico, often in direct reprisal for their work covering topics like corruption and the country’s notoriously violent drug traffickers.
