Violence Against Journalists and Media Workers in Mexico and U.S MEMORANDUM May 3, 2018 Subject: Violence Against Journalists and Media workers in Mexico and U.S. Policy From: Clare Ribando Seelke, Specialist in Latin American Affairs, [email protected], 7-5229 This memorandum was prepared to enable distribution to more than one congressional office. The following memorandum provides background information on threats to journalists in Mexico, Mexican government efforts to prevent and punish violence against journalists, and U.S. programs to support journalists and strengthen Mexico’s ability to protect them. For the purposes of this memorandum, the term “journalists” includes all media workers. Press Freedom in Mexico as Compared to Other Countries in Latin America In recent years, international press freedom organizations have expressed concerns about the deterioration of press freedom in many countries in Latin America, precipitated by an increase in violence and other attacks on journalists, as well as politically-driven attempts to curb or repress independent media. In 2017, 12 of the 22 journalist killings in the region documented in the annual report of the Special Rapporteur of Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) occurred in Mexico.1 Mexico, along with Brazil, ranks among the top ten countries globally with the highest rates of unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of their population in the Global Impunity Index published by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).2 Increasing violent crimes against journalists and the impunity enjoyed by those who perpetrate those crimes have led to journalistic self-censorship in Mexico, inhibiting people’s access to information, government accountability, and freedom of expression. As an example, 68% of journalists in Mexico surveyed by Article 19, a press freedom group that has received U.S. funding for its programs, reported self-censoring.3 While the Mexican government does not use state-owned media to promote itself or to shut down independent media (as Cuba and Venezuela have done), it reportedly has rewarded outlets that provide favorable coverage with lucrative advertising contracts and used various means to punish and intimidate its critics.4 According to Freedom House, officials at all levels of government in Mexico have punished 1 Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression, Annual Report of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression, December 31, 2017, available at: http://www.oas.org/en/iachr/docs/annual/2017/docs/AnnexRELE.pdf.

Congressional Research Service 2 journalists critical of their actions by publicly denouncing their work, pushing media owners (who rely on government ad buys for revenue) to dismiss them, suing them for libel, or using other tactics to intimidate, and/or threaten them.5 Evidence reportedly emerged in 2017 that the Mexican federal government had conducted illegal digital surveillance on journalists and their families, a practice common in Cuba and Venezuela.6 According to Article 19, public officials committed 52% of the 507 “aggressions” that journalists experienced in 2017 (see Figure 2).7 This compares to a regional average of roughly 40% of aggressions committed against journalists being carried out by public officials cited by IACHR in the executive summary of its 2017 annual report. Both Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders (RWB) produce annual indices rating and ranking countries worldwide in terms of press freedom (See Table 1). In 2018, Freedom House placed Mexico in the lowest, “not free” category of countries, along with the authoritarian governments of Venezuela and Cuba, as well as Honduras and Ecuador. With the exception of Ecuador, press freedom has continued to deteriorate in Mexico and the other countries in that group. Thirteen of the 35 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean ranked in the bottom half of the RWB rankings. Mexico ranked 147 out of 180 countries evaluated worldwide, just above Cuba (173) and below Honduras (141) and Venezuela (143).8 According to RWB, the Mexican government failed to protect its journalists in 2017, becoming the second most violent country for journalists (after Syria).

The countries listed in this chart appear from “most free” to “least free.” Mexico: Crimes Against Journalists and Media Workers For more than a decade, violent crime perpetrated by warring criminal organizations has threatened citizen security and governance in parts of Mexico. Although Mexico’s homicide rate (murders per 100,000 people) remains within the “average” range for the Western Hemisphere (albeit high by global standards), it has experienced a much faster rise in homicides over the past decade than other countries in the region. Experts estimate that between 30% and 50% of those homicides have been organized crime- related.9 Although the illicit drug trade has long been prevalent in Mexico, violence has escalated as an increasing number of criminal organizations have fought for control of lucrative routes to transport drugs, including heroin, into the United States.10 In addition to rising insecurity, corruption and impunity have become top issues of concern in Mexico. Since 2014, corruption scandals have implicated President Enrique Peña Nieto’s family and top advisers, as well as many former governors. Javier Duarte, the former governor of Veracruz once close to Peña Nieto, is now on trial for stealing billions of dollars while in office.11 Corruption in the police and judicial systems is thought to be a reason behind the country’s high rates of impunity for all crimes, including homicides. Many journalists reporting on critical issues such as crime and corruption have become targets for organized crime groups and corrupt officials. While some crime groups or public officials pay bribes to journalists in order to receive favorable coverage, others use threats or other aggressive actions to pressure journalists not to expose their crimes or to retaliate against journalists who do report on their misdeeds. A recent study found that journalists are three times as likely as other Mexicans to be victims of organized crime or drug trafficking-related violence.12 The IACHR and the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights have expressed ongoing concern about the safety of journalists in Mexico.13 While killings of local journalists have occurred at high levels in Mexico over the past decade, 2017 marked the first year in which multiple well-known journalists were killed (See Figure 1 below). The killings of investigative journalists Miroslava Breach, a correspondent for La Jornada based in Chihuahua, and Javier Valdéz, the editor of Riodoce in Sinaloa, have fostered international concern and been condemned by CPJ and others. Both journalists spent much of their decades-long careers writing on 9 Laura Calderón, Octavio Rodríguez Ferreira, and David A.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Word from the Founder and Director|
    2017 - 2020 IMPACT REPORT A word from the founder and director| In October 2017 as we were preparing to launch a collaborative " network of journalists dedicated to pursuing and publishing the work of other reporters facing threats, prison or murder, prominent Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was horrifically silenced with a car bomb. Her murder was a cruel and stark reminder of how tenuous the free flow of information can be when democratic systems falter. We added Daphne to the sad and long list of journalists whose work Forbidden Stories is committed to continuing. For five months, we coordinated a historic collaboration of 45 journalists from 18 news organizations, aimed at keeping Daphne Caruana Galizia’s stories alive. Her investigations, as a result of this, ended up on the front pages of the world’s most widely-read newspapers. Seventy-four million people heard about the Daphne Project worldwide. Although her killers had hoped to silence her stories, the stories ended up having an echo way further than Malta. LAURENT RICHARD Forbidden Stories' founder Three years later, the journalists of the Daphne Project continue and executive director. to publish new revelations about her murder and pursue the investigations she started. Their explosive role in taking down former Maltese high-ranking government officials confirms that collaboration is the best protection against impunity. 2 2017-2020 Forbidden Stories Impact Report A word from the founder and director| That’s why other broad collaborative On a smaller scale, we have investigations followed. developed rapid response projects.

  • The Civil Society-Driven Anti-Corruption Push in Mexico During the Enrique
    MEXICO CASE STUDY Rise and Fall: Mexican Civil Society’s Anti-Corruption Push in the Peña Nieto Years Roberto Simon AS/COA Anti Corruption Working Group Mexican Civil Society’s Anti-Corruption Push in the Peña Nieto Years Rise and Fall: Mexican Civil Society’s Anti-Corruption Push in the Peña Nieto Years Mexico City — “Saving Mexico” declared the cover of Time magazine, alongside a portrait of President Enrique Peña Nieto gazing confidently toward the future.1 Elected in 2012, Peña Nieto had been in power for only 15 months, yet already his bold reform agenda — dubbed the “Pacto por Mexico” (Pact for Mexico) — had made him a darling of global investors. Time noted that the president — “assisted by a group of young technocrats (including) Finance Minister Luis Videgaray and Pemex chief Emilio Lozoya” — was making history by breaking Mexico’s eight-decade state monopoly over the energy industry. “And the oil reform might not even be Peña Nieto’s most important victory,” the magazine said. There was “evidence” that Peña Nieto was about to “challenge Mexico’s entrenched powers.” While most investors focused on the deep regulatory changes under way, leading Mexican civil society organizations were looking at another critical promise in the Pacto por Mexico: fighting endemic corruption. “For centuries, corruption has been one of the central elements of the Mexican state (and) a constant in shaping the political system,” said Jorge Buendía, a prominent pollster and political analyst. A powerful governor from the 1960s to the 1980s allegedly once said that in Mexico “a poor politician is a poor politician.”2 And by the time Peña Nieto came to power, most in the country believed that things hadn’t really changed.

  • Mexico Report Wolfgang Muno, Jörg Faust, Martin Thunert (Coordinator)
    Mexico Report Wolfgang Muno, Jörg Faust, Martin Thunert (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2019 © vege - stock.adobe.com Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2019 | 2 Mexico Report Executive Summary Considering Mexico’s experience with military and corporatist autocratic rule, the country has made significant progress over the last two decades with regard to electoral competition and its overall regulatory environment, including market-oriented reforms. Economic and political elites, as well as an increasing share of the middle-class, are technically well qualified, and have gained knowledge on how best to organize the country’s political, economic and social frameworks. Mexican policymakers at both the national and regional levels are well trained, internationally experienced and often equipped with high-level qualifications from Western universities. Mexico’s tertiary education system is increasingly competitive internationally as are several major firms, including an increasing number in the manufacturing sector. At the same time, Mexico suffers from structural problems that are uncommon among other OECD countries. These challenges mainly relate to the extremely unequal distribution of social benefits and services among the population, such as security and social opportunities. The resulting cleavages between geographic regions, rural and urban areas, and social classes are among the most pressing barriers to further socioeconomic progress. In addition, uneven state capacity, both geographically and across policy sectors, often undermines the effective and coherent implementation of policies. In comparison to most other OECD countries, Mexico’s GDP growth over the last decade was rather slow, the socioeconomic situation was marked by considerable inflation, the lowest tax-to-GDP ratio of any OECD country, and persistently high levels of poverty and inequality.

  • Mexico 2020 Human Rights Report
    MEXICO 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mexico is a multiparty federal republic with an elected president and bicameral legislature. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the National Regeneration Movement party coalition won the presidential election in July 2018 in generally free and fair multiparty elections and took office in December 2018. Citizens also elected members of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, governors, state legislators, and mayors. The National Guard, state, and municipal police are responsible for enforcing the law and maintaining order. The National Guard, which began operations in June 2019, is a civilian institution reporting to the Secretariat of Public Security and Civil Protection. On December 31, 2019, the Federal Police was disbanded, and on May 4, all remaining assets and personnel were transferred to the National Guard. The bulk of National Guard personnel are seconded from the army and navy and have the option to return to their services after five years. State preventive police report to state governors, while municipal police report to mayors. The Secretariat of National Defense and Secretariat of the Navy also play a role in domestic security, particularly in combating organized criminal groups. The constitution was amended in 2019 to grant the president the authority to use the armed forces to protect internal and national security, and courts have upheld the legality of the armed forces’ role in law enforcement activities in support of civilian authorities through 2024. The National Migration Institute, under the authority of the Interior Secretariat, is responsible for enforcing migration law and protecting migrants. Although authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces, there were instances in which security force elements acted independently of civilian control.
