The utopian free speech advocate

Protesting the murder of Valentin Valdez of Saltillo.

few days ago, on 3 May to be precise, was held on World Day for Press Freedom (also the day of the Cross, called by some the day of Mason). However, in Mexico and in many countries this concept has not been more than a utopia. This and the murder of journalist's son Javier Sicilia made me think of all the journalists who have been killed in recent years.

few months ago I received information on these issues and that made me investigate further. In this way, I discovered that there is a Committee to Protect Journalists (http://www.cpj.org ), which is dedicated to defending the people of the profession around the world. On their website I discovered that the presidency of Felipe Calderon has been the most journalists killed in recent decades.

So far in 2011 there has been 1 murder this year and show more negative balance of the Calderon were the 2009 and 2010 with 15 victims each. Then the figures for each year of the "President of Employment:

2006: 1 journalist

2007: 7 journalists

2008: 11 journalists

2009: 15 journalists

2010: 15 journalists

2011: 1 journalist

sexenio Total: 50 journalists killed

These figures are taken from a study completed in September 2010 by Professor Remberto Hernández Padilla, so the number of the year could be higher, the 2011 data was taken from the CPJ website.

In 2010 Mexico was the fourth highest number of deaths of journalists, only behind Pakistan, Iraq and Honduras. In Morelos since 1991 have been killed following journalists

CAMPOS ALEJANDRO MORENO (+ 1991). Diario de Morelos reporter.

DORANTES JORGE MARTÍN. (+ Monday June 6, 1994). Ran the weekly "cruise." He was critical of state government officials, especially with the governor, general, Jorge Carrillo Olea. He was assassinated in Cuernavaca, Morelos.

TORRES ENRIQUE PERALTA. (+ Wednesday July 6, 1994). He was a reporter for the newspaper "La Union de Morelos." Since that means criticizing the "mismanagement" of the governor general, Jorge Carrillo Olea. Was shot to death in Cuernavaca, Morelos.

JOSE LUIS ROJAS . (+ Tuesday July 12, 1994). He was editor of the newspaper "La Union de Morelos", and a persistent critic of state government members, especially the governor, general, Jorge Carrillo Olea. In Cuernavaca, Morelos, his body was found strangled and beaten. He was 46.

probably find out after reading this because there is no freedom of expression in Mexico, may also come to understand that many journalists are afraid to tell the truth and because our media are so lacking in transparency. It is probable Many of these people have been forgotten group, but for those who write them are the true heroes of our country, struggling to express freely, showing their disagreement, those who denounce injustice, those who die for the truth.
