Dove hunting season (which is the first legal hunting season of the year) in Mexico doesn’t start until August 21 but it almost seems that some people in the country can’t wait for legal hunting season to begin. They are hunting journalist.

It is almost incomprehensible that only 3 days after the murder of Javier Valdez in Culiacan, Guerrero and the uproar that arose after his killing, Salvador Adame Pardo, a journalist and owner of the 4TV channel in the municipality of Francisco J. Múgica, Michoacán , was kidnapped Thursday at about 19:00 hours in the Nueva Italia community, Michoacán. Six journalist have already been killed this year Mexico, family and friends of Adame are hoping he does not become number 7.

A group of armed and masked men detained Adame Thursday evening at a water purification plant and took him away by force in a black van towards Nuevo Corondiro. There are still no clues as to the whereabouts of the Michoacán television broadcaster.

Local media reported he had been a critic of the mayor of the town of Mujica . He had received threats on his cell phone.

Last April Adame had been arrested by elements of the State Public Security Secretariat when a group of women were protesting at City Hall about some action of the Mayor. He wrote on his Facebook page that after the State Police had evacuated the building the police beat him and his wife and 11 other women who had been evacuated from the City Hall.

“The Special Operations Group beat my wife and 11 women . “ It is very unfortunate to see these defenseless women being beaten, I have no words to describe, “Adame Pardo wrote in his Facebook account.

Even though there were witnesses at the water purification plant that saw the abduction by a group of armed masked men and saw them forcibly take him away, when the family tried to file a compliant about the abduction they were told by the state’s anti-kidnapping prosecutor that they must wait 62 hours from the time of Adame’s disappearance before making a formal complaint. It had been 15 hours then since his abduction and there had been no statement from the government advising the public of the kidnapping..

It was later claimed that information of the possible kidnapping against the journalist was not made generally known to the public by the authorities so as not to hinder the investigations of the case.

The Inter American Press Association said Adame had stopped covering stories of violence several years ago due to pressure from drug traffickers. But he continued to report on local government corruption.

The kidnapping came less than 24 hours after President Pena Nieto announced new measures to protect journalists, six of whom have been murdered so far this year.

Silvano Aureoles, Governor of Michoacán , was one of the Governors who did not attend the meeting that the federal government convened last May 17 where they were announced.
