Abducted Mexican reporter found dead

“The murder of Espinosa follows a pattern of unprecedented violence against the Mexico media that has cost two lives and one disappearance in a three-week period,” said Carlos Lauría, CPJ’s senior program coordinator for the Americas. “Mexican journalists find themselves terrorized by this wave of lethal violence that is barring them from reporting the news. We urge Mexican authorities to put an end to this vicious cycle by vigorously investigating Espinosa’s slaying and bringing those responsible to justice.”
