Journalist shot dead in Honduras
In Honduras, a journalist was shot dead by two gunmen outside his home on Wednesday night. The assassination attempt on television journalist Francisco Medina took place in the town of Morazan, 120 kilometers north of the capital Tegucigalpa.
Medina had previously reported critically on the police authorities and private security services financed by large landowners. Medina had already received several death threats and the attack on him was connected to his work. This was said by Santos Galvez from the press office of the Honduran University of Journalism.
Medina is the eleventh journalist to be killed in Honduras in the past year and a half. The danger of being killed increases every day for Honduran journalists, said Galvez. (sda)
