#mexico - “The brutal killing of Josué Martínez, in front of his child and in broad daylight, is the fourth such deadly attack on a Mexican journalist in just over four weeks in what is rapidly becoming one of the deadliest years in recent memory for the Mexican press,” said Jan-Albert Hootsen, CPJ’s Mexico representative. “Time and time again Mexican authorities show their unwillingness to make the country safer for reporters by allowing these attacks to occur in almost complete impunity.”
Josué Martínez’s killing follows the deaths of Mexican journalists Luis Ángel López, killed in Veracruz state on June 11, Roxana Guzmán, abducted June 2 in Veracruz and whose remains were identified on July 3, and Alex Serna, who was abducted in Guerrero state on June 20 and whose remains were found on July 3.

Five journalists murdered in six weeks in a country not officially at war would be an absolute crisis in most countries.
In Mexico, many people are sadly seeing it as more of the same. Tragic.
