Not only Ayotzinapa: dissent, repression and freedom of the press in Mexico

The shocking story of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa, who were killed, dismembered and burned in a mass grave, has attracted the world's attention once more to Mexico, which is still one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists.

Every day journalists who do not give in to intimidation and do not turn to self-censorship risk their lives in a country where human rights are systematically violated with impunity, drug trafficking dominates and corruption is rampant. Terror and enforced disappearances are effective instruments for the suppression of dissent and social struggles.
