Mexican journalist Lydia Cacho seeks protection for new threats
Journalist Lydia Cacho, who exposed a child pornography network that involved business leaders, has reported receiving new death threats last week. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has granted cautionary protective measures for the journalist, her family, and staff of the Center for Attention to Women (CIAM, in Spanish) of Cancún, the AFP news agency reports.
The IAHCR also asked the Mexican government to take action to protect Cacho, EFE adds.
Cacho has received several death threats on her blog and recently noted that several unknown people took photos of her home, Proceso adds.
