Pig's head and threatening note left at home of Mexican journalist's mother

"A new threat against the press in San Luis Potosí. Antonio Meza, director of the news outlet Noticias San Luis, has reported that his mother’s home was fired upon and that a cooler containing a pig’s head was left there anonymously. Furthermore, a message targeting his work was written on the cooler in black marker: 'Tone down your content.' The journalist has already filed a formal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office and has requested inclusion in the state and federal protection mechanisms for media professionals. 'I would not want to directly accuse Governor Ricardo Gallardo and his wife, Ruth González—as other colleagues have done—because I do not yet have the evidence to do so. However, I can say that I hold them responsible for any further attacks on the physical safety of my family, myself, my team and their relatives,' he said in an interview with Luis Cárdenas on MVS Noticias."
