In Mexico City, the Museum of Memory and Tolerance has unveiled an altar to the journalists killed over the last decade ahead of this weekend’s Day of the Dead celebrations. At least 32 reporters have been killed in Mexico since 1992, making it one of the deadliest countries for journalists. Darío Ramírez of the human rights group Article 19 spoke at the unveiling.
Darío Ramírez: “It’s an altar that speaks for itself of a punishing silence, which undermines a society’s right to be informed. It’s a humble altar but with nationwide importance, which is clearly evident. The journalists who have been murdered and who have found no justice, it’s simply a reminder of what we are losing.”
