Journalist Reynaldo
López was killed by armed men while driving his car in the city of Hermosillo,
Sonora, in northern Mexico. Lopez was traveling with reporter Carlos Cota, who
was also injured. The authorities ruled out that the incident is related to the
journalistic activity of the victims. Authorities are actually saying it was
probably related to illegal activities by “someone close” to the two men.
The Committee to Protect Journalists to classify
Mexico as the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere for media
workers, and second for the most dangerous in the world.
Cota was a popular
sports reporter for Televisa Sonora for many years.
Reynaldo López is the
third journalist to be murdered in Mexico this year, following the killing of
radio host Jesús Ramos Rodríguez in Tabasco a little over a week ago and the
assassination of community radio director Rafael Murúa in Baja California in
January.

ReplyDeleteThese killings towards journalists and politicians have been going on for many decades without justice.
Good speech for those who know better than to see any resolution from politicos.
Mexico needs to do something about this. They won't, but to have any chance of improving their culture, they must end this persecution. JMO
