A group of armed men attacked the offices of the regional newspaper Zona Media, in Rioverde, in San Luis Potosí with Molotov bombs, this Monday, December 2.
As reported by local media, the attack on the media occurred around 06:00 on this day. The bombs caused a truck, with which the newspaper is distributed, to be damaged. This vehicle was parked on Matamoros Avenue, in front of the Rotary facilities, which is located between Centenario and Matamoros streets.
According to the first testimonies, the watchman realized that something was happening and going out to verify what it was, he saw two men on a motorcycle who threw the Molotov bombs and then fled the place. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Delegation Four of the State Attorney General's Office, based in Rioverde, confirmed the facts, and that the probable perpetrators fled the site. He also said they are investigating the event.

This morning Molotov bombs were thrown outside the facilities of our #ZonaMedia newspaper in #Rioverde in a clear attempt to curtail freedom of expression ... We expect immediate responses from the authorities of all levels !!! ", he wrote in his Facebook account, @diariozonamedia.

ReplyDeleteJournalists in Mexico are becoming increasingly worried and aware of the consequences of reporting.
Can a journalist in Mexico be considered a journalist knowing that certain issues / topics are best left untold? Where freedoms of expression are opposed by those political powers.
Ever since Valez of Riodoice, was killed, Congress promised to issue body guards to reporters, it never happened, just be talk.
