A Mexican journalist is shot dead in the country's south shortly after posting online about the disappearance of 43 students in a nearby area
Columnist Fredid"Fredy" Roman was killed just after posting a column on the alleged involvement of local politicians in the disappearance of 43 students in 2014.A journalist has been shot dead in southern Mexico, authorities said, shortly after posting online about the disappearance eight years ago of 43 students from a nearby area.
Fredid Roman, who published his work on various social media pages and contributed to a local newspaper, was found dead in his car in the city of Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero state, the local prosecutor's office said Monday evening. The case of the 43 students from Guerrero, who went missing in 2014 after commandeering a bus to head to a protest, is considered one of the worst human rights disasters in Mexican history.
The case was forced back into the spotlight last week when a truth commission branded the atrocity a "state crime" that involved agents of various institutions.
