Two Mexican Journalists Killed This Week
----------------------------------------

This comes as Reporters Without Borders is calling on the Mexican
government to investigate the murder of two reporters this week. On
Sunday, Elidio Ramos Zárate was shot by armed gunmen in Oaxaca, while on
Monday, freelance journalist Zamira Esther Bautista was also shot dead
by armed gunmen in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas. At least eight
journalists have been murdered in Mexico this year.
