In Mexico City dozens of journalists marched outside the attorney general’s office calling on the government to step up efforts to protect journalists. The protesters hung photographs of 37 journalists who have been murdered or disappeared since 2000. In April, Amado Ramirez, a veteran correspondent for Televisa Acapulco, was shot to death. And six months earlier, the American journalist Brad Will was killed by paramilitary forces in Oaxaca.

Mexican journalist Misael Habana de los Santos: “We are being threatened. That’s why we’re demonstrating and taking the opportunity to ask for justice for our dead — there are several — and specifically, the recent case of Amado Ramirez, and also for the threats that there are against some reporters.”
