Official Denies That Journalism is Risky Profession in Mexico
The chief federal prosecutor for the special office dealing with crimes against journalists challenged reports by several international human rights organizations that say Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries to practice journalism, La Jornada reports. (See this report in English by the Associated Press.)
According to the prosecutor, Alberto Orellana Wiarco, only three of the 25 killings of journalists since 2007 were related to their professional work, and only 16 percent of 279 investigations were linked to organized crime.
According to the Associated Press in Spanish, the prosecutor said most of the journalists who were killed had died in accidents, committed suicide, or were innocent observers of other people's killings.
