Mexico records deadliest year yet for journalists

This year will be the deadliest on record for journalists in Mexico, with 18 killed so far, Qazet.az reports according to human rights organization Article 19.

Of the 18 deaths, Article 19 had identified a potential link to their work in nine cases so far, the organization's regional director Leopoldo Maldonado told Reuters.

"2022 could be the worst year in a century for the press," Maldonado said.
