According to Reports, A Journalist was reportedly shot and died in southern Mexico immediately after publishing an online piece about the kidnapping of 43 students from the region eight years earlier, as said by the authorities.
Based on the local prosecutor’s office, Fredid Roman, who published his work on various social media sites and sent letters, was found dead in his car in Chilpancingo, the State capital of Guerrero.
Number of Students went Missing in 2014 :
The tragedy of the 43 Guerrero students who went missing in 2014 after seizing a bus to travel to a protest is one of the biggest human rights atrocities in Mexican history. A truth panel’s declaration last week that the tragedy was a “State Crime” involving leaders from many organisations brought the subject back into the public glare.
Roman alleged in a lengthy blog post he published just before he died, headlined “State Crime Without Charging the Boss”, that four officials, includes former attorney general Jesus Murillo Karam, had a meeting the day the students vanished.
Murillo Karam was taken into custody after the truth commission’s findings were made public last week, and multiple warrants for alleged military personnel, police officers, and cartel members were also issued.
It wasn’t immediately obvious whether Roman’s most recent piece on the missing students or any of his earlier journalism had anything to do with his dying. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for media, according to RSF’s estimate of 150 journalists slain since 2000. The majority of those murders are still going unpunished.
