“The Committee to Protect Journalists joined Espacio OSC, a coalition of Mexican civil society organizations, in a joint statement expressing deep concern over irregularities in the implementation of basic protection measures for journalists by the Mexican Federal Mechanism for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders and Journalists.
[...]
In recent weeks, CPJ and Espacio OSC have documented failures in the implementation of basic protection measures for at least 10 journalists, most of whom have received death threats. Among the reported problems were government-issued vehicles that presented mechanical failures and were not replaced, making it difficult for bodyguards to carry out their duty protecting journalists they were assigned to by the federal government.”
