Tenth Mexican journalist murdered, after cut in funding for protection

NewsAnother journalist was murdered in Mexico just a day after Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and its local partners were alarmed to learn of the Mexican government’s plans to slash funding for the protection of journalists. They again call on the government to step up protection. Mario Leonel Gómez Sánchez was gunned down by men on a motorcycle in the street as he was left his home in Yajalón, in the southern state of Chiapas, on 21 September.
