Journalists' protest | Photographs by Lexie

Mexico is considered to be the most dangerous country for journalists outside of a war zone. In the first few weeks of 2022, 3 journalists were brutally killed for nothing more than trying to report the truth. As a result of their murders, journalists all over Mexico came together to protest across dozens of cities. Here are a few images from the protest in Mexico City on 26 January 2022 outside the offices for the Interior Ministry.

I am angry at silence!
