Mexico: Media unions condemn murder of journalist
Trade unions hit out at the attack after mayor vows there will be no impunity

MEDIA unions condemned the murder of Mexican photojournalist Ruben Espinosa yesterday, after Mexico City’s mayor vowed there would be no impunity for his killers.

Mr Espinosa was killed along with four women, believed to be his three flatmates and a housekeeper, at his apartment in the capital on Friday.

He had moved to the supposed safe haven of Mexico City in June after being harassed and followed in Xalapa in Veracruz state — notorious for killings of journalists — for his work covering protests.
