Journalist in Veracruz, Mexico, says he was threatened by official following publication of report

"Journalist and director of the website JDCNoticias, Jesús Daniel Cruz, filed a complaint with the State Attorney General's Office after receiving a threat from the legal representative of the San Rafael City Council [in the Mexican state of Veracruz] and also the Attorney for the Defense of Minors.

At a press conference, he explained that the events occurred after the publication of a news report, which is why he now fears for his life, although this will not prevent him from continuing to work."

'Yesterday I made a post about a pharmacy, a naturist center located in the municipality of San Rafael, Veracruz. The Ministry of Health and Cofepris [Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks] issued a suspension seal on the business. I did some reporting, took photographs of the place, and especially because many people are familiar with the place, but it doesn't have any signs about the medicine it sells,' he said.

He explained that the place is owned by the father of the municipal official, who has threatened to kill him."
