They capture on video the kidnapping of a Mexican journalist by an armed commando who broke into her house

The journalist Roxana Berenice Guzmán Ramírezdirector of the digital media Pulso Informativo del Sureste, was kidnapped on the morning of Tuesday, June 2, by a group of armed men who violently broke into her home located in the municipality of Nanchital, south of Veracruz.

The events occurred around 6:00 a.m. and were recorded in a video broadcast on social networks.

In the images you can see several hooded subjects carrying long weapons who break the access door of the home to enter by force.

During the break-in, a person inside the building notices that a baby is there, while trying to prevent the attackers from accessing it. The recording is interrupted when the individuals subdue the occupants of the house.

Following the complaint filed by the journalist’s relatives, the Frequent Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Veracruz reported that it opened an investigation file and deployed an operation coordinated with security forces to locate the journalist and identify those responsible.

The organization Article 19 condemned the disappearance of Guzmán Ramírez and demanded that the authorities implement immediate and effective actions to search and locate them.

Likewise, he requested that the journalist’s work be considered a priority line within the investigations and that the Approved Protocol for the Investigation of Crimes against Freedom of Expression be applied.

The case has generated concern among organizations defending freedom of expression and journalistic unions, who have reiterated that Veracruz continues to be one of the entities with the highest risks for the practice of journalism in Mexico.
