“The two men came to my house and told me to stop getting involved in things that didn’t matter to me and to face the consequences. I do not understand how they want to restrict the right to report what is happening with the communities in the urban case and the rural area,” said Hernández.
But this holiday Monday he again received another threat, but now it was via a pamphlet with no return address and made with letters cut from newspapers, in which they gave him 24 hours to leave the town if he did not want to be murdered.
““You’re going to die, you have 24 hours to leave or I’ll leave you on a trail.”points out the writing made in a rudimentary way.
Faced with this situation, the journalist, who has police protection, said he fears for his life and the physical integrity of his family, which is why he is studying the possibility of taking a break from his profession until the facts are clarified through the investigations that the authorities advance.
