Press Freedom Day: The most dangerous place in the world to try and report the truth
Mexican journalist Regina Martinez was slightly built. She used to stand at the back at press conferences and rarely asked questions. That is not why she is dead.
“Regina would always write about one-third more of the real truth than I dared to do in any story we covered. And I write more than most reporters,” a journalist from Xalapa, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Maybe that is why she was killed, beaten and strangled in her bathroom on Saturday by an as yet unknown hand.
Whatever the truth behind her death in the Mexican city of Xalapa, she became another statistic in a country which has seen more than 50 journalists, bloggers and other media workers killed in the last six years.
