In Paraguay, a Chilean journalist has been killed after exposing drug smuggling and oil theft in a southern region. Tito Alberto Palma was shot multiple times last week while eating out in the town of Mayor Otano. He was 48 years old. Vincente Paez of the Paraguayan Journalists Union condemned Palma’s killers.

Vincente Paez: “They add themselves to an entire panorama of terror across Paraguay. They periodically make threats and pressure and intimidate the press, mostly in border regions. This is the fifth assassination of one of our fellow journalists.”
