'Despite the importance of journalists in reporting, they have received consequences, they are harassed, intimidated, persecuted, get phone calls at different times, their assets are being affected, their vehicles are being damaged, someone else's property is being damaged, but there is also the disappearance of communicators and, still worse, deaths,' he lamented.
The CNDH president pointed out that protection mechanisms are helpful, but do not solve the problem, so only through law enforcement and the combat against impunity in aggressions against journalists, the bases which generate the conditions to violate their rights will be attacked.
Gonzalez added that attacks on communicators continue because the vast majority remains unpunished, and those in Mexico who practice this profession are often forced to censor themselves as a result of attacks, persecution and death threats from public service personnel and organized crime.
Mexico, Oct 31 (Prensa Latina) Since 2000 to date, 140 journalists have been murdered in Mexico, according to the president of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), Luis Raul Gonzalez.
