RSF Mexico:
Two More Journalists Kidnapped,
One of Them Found Murdered
<http://ow.ly/UE5H>
Just a week after radio Línea Directa
crime reporter José Luis Romero was
kidnapped in the northern state of
Sinaloa, two other journalists were
kidnapped yesterday in Coahuila,
another northern state, and one of them,
Valentín Valdés Espinosa, was found dead
today.
According to his newspaper, the
Zócalo de Saltillo daily, Valdés was found
with a warning message pinned to his chest,
a practice often used by drug traffickers.
Valdés was driving home after work in
the city of Saltillo with two other
journalists when they were intercepted
at about 10:45 pm by gunmen, who forced
Valdés and one of the others to get into
their pickup. There is so far no word of
the other abducted journalist, whose
name is being withheld.
?The year has begun tragically for Mexican
journalists,? Reporters Without Borders
said. ?The federal authorities are obliged
to investigate this case as an armed group
is involved. We hope they quickly identify
those responsible and find Valdés?
colleague.?
