Mexican Journalist Emilio Gutiérrez Soto to Get New U.S. Asylum Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Mexican journalist Emilio Gutiérrez Soto and his son Oscar
have been granted a new asylum hearing in Texas, which could see them
released from an immigration detention center where they've been held
since December. Gutiérrez first sought asylum in the United States in
2008 after receiving death threats for reporting on alleged corruption
in the Mexican military. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries
in the world for journalists, with at least four media workers killed so
far this year alone. Click here to see our full jailhouse interview with
Emilio Gutiérrez Soto.
