"Journalists and citizens from all over Mexico wen out this Tues. Jan. 25 to protest in more than thirty cities to denounce the violence suffered by journalists. Mexico is the most dangerous country in the world to practice the profession, with dozens of murders every year and hundreds of attacks. Impunity reigns. Every year, around 90% of crimes get lost in prosecutors' files. Attacks on freedom of expression are no exception.
In Mexico City, half a thousand people gathered at the door of the Ministry of the Interior, the nerve center of federal power. Groups of reporters and professionals from other states hung a poster at the entrance, demanding justice for the murdered comrades, particularly for the last three. In the first few weeks of January, criminals have killed the reporter Lourdes Maldonado and the photojournalist Margarito Martínez, in Tijuana, and José Luis Gamboa, in Veracruz."
