“Journalist associations in [the Mexican state of] Guerrero reported that their colleague Luis Daniel Nava, contributor to the magazine Proceso and reporter for the El Sur de Guerrero newspaper, was the victim of an apparent assault by two men dressed in black tactical clothing, with long weapons and military appearance, who allegedly threatened him by saying: ‘We already know what you do!’

In a statement dated Sunday [Nov. 10] in Chilpancingo, capital city of Guerrero, the associations added that, before the robbery, the assailants told Nava ‘that they already know what he works in and what he does for a living, which worries us because it is a direct intimidating action that puts his physical and emotional integrity at risk.’

[...]

According to the statement, the attack on Nava occurred on the night of Saturday, Nov. 9. He and a group of reporters had hours earlier covered the burial of 11 people who had been kidnapped in El Epazote, municipality of Chilapa, and found dead on Wednesday, Nov. 6.”
