墨西哥当局周日表示,已就记者爱德华多·弗洛雷斯的死亡启动谋杀调查。弗洛雷斯在沿海城市阿卡普尔科报道治安、社会问题和失踪人口,他的遇害将成为针对记者的一系列袭击中的最新一起。
Mexican authorities said on Sunday they have launched a murder investigation over the death of journalist Eduardo Flores, who covered security, social issues and missing persons from the coastal city of Acapulco and whose killing would mark the latest in a series of attacks targeting reporters.
墨西哥长期位列对记者最致命的国家之列。总部位于伦敦的倡导组织“第十九条”记录显示,自2000年以来,该拉美国家已发生181起此类案件,其中许多集中在有组织犯罪势力势力强势的州份,包括2026年前七个月发生的6起。
Mexico consistently ranks among the deadliest countries for reporters. London-based advocacy group Article 19 has documented 181 such cases since 2000 in the Latin American country, many of these concentrated in states with a strong presence of organized crime groups, including six in the first seven months of 2026.
这些谋杀案鲜有侦破,去年“无国界记者组织”将墨西哥排在加沙之后,列为全球第二危险的记者工作地。弗洛雷斯的雇主“新闻聚焦”表示,遗体于周六晚在阿卡普尔科郊外被发现,阿卡普尔科是南部格雷罗州一座热门度假城市。
These murders are rarely solved and last year, Reporters Without Borders ranked Mexico as the second-most dangerous place to work for journalists after Gaza. Flores' employer Enfoque Informativo said the body was found on Saturday night on the outskirts of Acapulco, a popular resort city in southern Guerrero state.
“新闻聚焦”在声明中说:“这次袭击不仅夺走了一位同事、朋友和宝贵生命,更构成对言论自由的直接打击。”
"This attack not only takes the life of a colleague, friend, and valuable human being; it constitutes a direct attack on freedom of expression," Enfoque Informativo said in a statement.
“他们无法让我们噤声。我们将继续以爱德华多·弗洛雷斯·萨拉多工作所体现的同样决心和职业道德进行报道。”声明呼吁州检方开展彻底透明的调查,将肇事者绳之以法。
"They will not silence us. We will continue to report with the same determination and professional ethics that characterized the work of Eduardo Flores Salado." It called on state prosecutors to run a thorough and transparent investigation to hold the culprits responsible.
格雷罗州检方已启动谋杀调查,但尚未说明弗洛雷斯是如何遇害,也未证实有任何人被捕。
Guerrero's state prosecutors' office has opened a murder investigation, but it has not yet said how Flores was killed or confirmed any arrests.
弗洛雷斯之死继罗克萨娜·古兹曼遇害之后。古兹曼主办韦拉克鲁斯犯罪新闻媒体《东南脉搏》。一段她录制的蒙面男子撞开家门将其绑架的视频于6月2日在社交媒体广泛传播。一个月后,她的遗骸被发现。
Flores' death follows that of Roxana Guzman, who directed a Veracruz crime news outlet, Pulso Informativo del Sureste. A video she recorded of masked men breaking down her front door before her abduction on June 2 was widely shared on social media. Her remains were found a month later.
