Mexico City — Mexico's National Human Rights Commission says federal and state governments haven't shown results in investigating or preventing the killing of journalists.
Commenting three days after the latest such slaying, the commission says journalists have been subject to kidnappings, threats, intimidation, attacks and disappearances.
The commission said Monday that 58 journalists have been killed and nine have disappeared since 2000. It says seven attacks with explosives have been made against media outlets in that time.
The most recent killing involved Valentin Valdes, a reporter for the newspaper Zocalo in the northern city of Saltillo. His body was found Friday along with a threatening message of the type often left by drug gangs. |
