Mexico: Further information: Journalist at Risk: Alberto Amaro

The Mexican Protection Mechanism has not yet withdrawn the existing protective measures granted to journalist Alberto Amaro because he had won an injunction to suspend the removal of his bodyguards. Therefore, the Mexican government is enforced to implement the protective measures until the injunction is solved. However, the Mechanism has not fully addressed Alberto’s concerns about his protection scheme. We will continue monitoring Alberto’s situation and supporting him and his family to stay safe, as well as expressing concern about the situation of journalists in the country and calling Mexican state to ensure protection for them.
