Articulo 19/La Union Newspaper - Hurricane

SITUATION
More journalists are killed in Mexico than in the Ukrainian war; most of these murders remain unpunished.
Since Lopéz Obrador became president of Mexico, 37 journalists have been murdered in the country, a figure that has caused alarm, as it is the highest since 2000, the year in which Article 19 began registering these murders (Article19, Mexico).

BRIEFLY
On January 2, a group of armed men entered the home of Moisés Sánchez Cerezo, editor of the Medellín de Bravo newspaper “La Union”. They dragged him from his bed and took him away. 22 days later, his mutilated body was found. The reason: In addition to being a cab driver, he was also the director of the aforementioned newspaper.

IDEA
We've crafted a short film and a special edition of the newspaper LA UNION to demand justice for the case of a journalist's murder that has remained unsolved for 9 years. We also seek to vindicate the role of journalism in Mexico, highlighted in recent years for links to drug trafficking, when what happens is the opposite, they denounce the government's irregularities and it is the same state that murders them.
