Today’s radio program “La Voz Latina” will broadcast in English and consider the case of Mexican reporter Guadalupe Lizárraga. Tonight at 10pm (NY time). To listen online: click here.
Guadalupe Lizárraga is a fighting reporter in the muckraking tradition, uncovering corruption and government lies and activities of criminal gangs. For this reason her life was threatened and she has been forced to abandon her country and now resides in the US.
As a result of her investigations as a reporter she discovered that the authorities in Ciudad Juarez had for years secretly kept the bodies of some 233 Mexican women killed by men hidden in the city morgue despite the fact that their relatives were still searching for the victims.
And although she often receives threats, Guadalupe is returning to Mexico today to follow up on a very important story which has shaken Mexican society.
Stephan Durham, who has participated in protests demanding her safety and respect for her civil liberties will tell us more.
