What To Write In A Wedding Card To My Sister

MEXICO: Mexico on the bench: 67 journalists killed in the first decade of the century.

With the two recent murders of journalists checked, the last place in the last few hours, although there are reports of two more, totaling 67 and at least nine colleagues remain missing without which the authorities still with new special prosecutor, we do not appreciate strong action to reverse the brutal attack on press freedoms and expression. Again

Chilpancingo, the capital of southern state of Guerrero, is the scene of another crime to silence the dearest freedoms. Evaristo Pacheco Solis, 33 years old Information reporter for the weekly Vision, was executed by three bullets 25 gauge, as usual, "hitherto unknown individuals."

We learned last week by U.S. media in the border town of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, were kidnapped eight colleagues in the term of 14 days. One of them was killed, it is Rábago Jorge Valdez, 49 years old. Radio radio reporter group and Reporters Rey Network, was kidnapped on 19 February after leaving a party, and then, on March 1, released and abandoned by criminals on a road in Matamoros, Tamaulipas. Entered an area hospital for allegedly diabetic coma, then emerged that bore signs of torture and was gagged. He died in hospital.

We were also informed that two more were found dead, three others are hospitalized with serious injuries in a hospital and the other two nothing is known. None of this information has been found for both household and friends, for fear they do not dare to denounce the brutal and deadly attacks.

With the explosion of disappearances killings and other attacks on journalists and women in the last 10 years of PAN governments, never before in history, and the gross negligence or omission in the investigation of these crimes by the current government headed by Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, Mexico, to the shame of all was sitting on the dock in three international fronts.

alerted In the previous game we should be very attentive to the recommendations issued by the Mexican government on 26 March next year the Human Rights Committee United Nations after officials from the ministries of Foreign Affairs and recognition, and that the evidence did not allow them to evade the charges, the shortcomings it has in areas such as violence against women and attacks on journalists.

Previously, the Department of State United States in its Annual Report on Mexico, noted the increase in killings by security forces, kidnapping, physical abuse, poor prison conditions, arbitrary arrests, corruption, inefficiency and lack of transparency in the judicial system, confessions obtained by torture, violence and threats and other crimes against journalists, more problems of human trafficking, discrimination against indigenous people and women and child labor.

And the European Parliament asked the government of Mexico to redouble their efforts to combat violence and impunity that are registered in the country, including increased action in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua and put a special emphasis on human rights in reference the femicide and killings of journalists.

text, remember, it recommends the government of Felipe Calderón to work on strengthening the rule of law to resolve "some of the structural problems are the cause of human rights violations."

course there is a weak response from the government of Mexico to the European Parliament and the Annual Report of the Department of State, to recognize, he had no other, that despite legislative reforms to promote "remaining challenges" still to be faced in this matter.

With the two recent murders of journalists checked, the last place in the last hours, although there are reports of two more, totaling 67 and at least nine colleagues are still missing but by the authorities, even with new special prosecutor, appreciate strong action to reverse the brutal attack on the freedoms of speech and press, is why Mexico is sitting at international level in the dock. President Calderón Hinojosa Enough!
