Mexican Journalists Interrupt Congress to Demand Justice for Assassinated Colleagues
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, journalists disrupted a session of Congress to denounce the
assassinations of five reporters since the start of the year and to call
for an end to impunity for killers. Protesters also held a minute of
silence in honor of their slain colleagues. This is journalist José
Reveles.

José Reveles: "The only way for these crimes not to be repeated is
exemplary punishment for the culprits, be it hitmen, intellectuals,
politicians in office or businessmen. Let them know that killing a
journalist has a cost."
