Journalist Rubén Pat Becomes 7th Journalist Killed in Mexico in 2018
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, press freedom groups are calling on the government to
thoroughly investigate the death of journalist and media owner Rubén
Pat, who was fatally shot six times on Tuesday in the southern state of
Quintana Roo. The assassination came even though Pat was enrolled in a
journalist protection scheme organized by the Mexican government. He's
at least the seventh journalist killed in Mexico this year.
