Hermosillo, Sonora - The director of the digital newspaper Cajeme News, René Díaz, has denounced threats received from a member of the Navy assigned to the Municipal Police of Cajeme, a situation that has been taken into account by the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

According to the complaints filed, the threats began last year and have continued throughout 2024, including expressions such as "not even the plaza will save you" during live broadcasts in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora.


The facts correspond to the sending of various threatening messages to a media outlet through one of its social networks, as a result of the journalistic coverage of various public safety issues.

With these messages, the accused limited and affected the media outlet's freedom of expression.

These actions have generated fear in the journalist, who also suspects that they are related to the censorship of his page.

The FGR, through the Special Prosecutor's Office for Attention to Crimes Committed against Freedom of Expression (FEADLE) and the Special Prosecutor's Office for Human Rights (FEMDH), managed to bring Hassael "B" to trial for his alleged involvement in the threats to the journalist.

The accused allegedly sent intimidating messages through social networks, limiting the media's freedom of expression.

After reviewing the evidence presented by the FGR, the Control Judge of the Federal Criminal Justice Center decided to commit Hassael "B" to trial and took two months to complete the additional investigation. In addition, precautionary measures have been imposed to guarantee the safety of the victims and witnesses involved.

    1. @7.32. Good question- No, I don't think it's lost in translation, it's a common tactic by corrupt officials to smear journalists and weaken any support or protection they might get by linking them to local mobs. So it means La Plaza, but it doesn't mean she was working for them.
