The journalist worked as an announcer on Radio and Television, he was also a cultural promoter in Acapulco and the son of journalist Javier Soriano, Chief Information Officer of the newspaper La Jornada Guerrero.

The United Nations called it a “terrible reminder that… Mexico is one the most dangerous countries for journalists.”

Journalist Gabriel Soriano was murdered this week in Guerrero, Mexico. According to the records of the United Nations, Soriano became the tenth journalist murdered this year. International human right groups, the United Nations, and the European Union have condemned Soriano’s murder.

From La Silla Rota

Gabriel Soriano, was a employee of the state news system Radio and Televisión of Guerrero (RTG), died after an attack on the press van of the company where he was being transported. Soriano worked in the technical area of RTG and worked as an announcer. He was returning from the transmission of Governor Hector Astudillo’s regional report, which took place yesterday at the Forum Mundo Imperial auditorium, in the Diamond Zone of Acapulco, when the van was shot. According to the authorities, the attack occurred around 8:00 pm on Wednesday at the Puerto Márquez roundabout.

The murder of Gabriel is a new terrible reminder that violence against journalists in the country does not stop, reinforcing what we already know: Mexico is one the most dangerous countries in the world for those for whom the work of informing society is their passion and profession,” UN representative in Mexico Jan Jarab said in a press release published Thursday.

Gabriel Soriano was a radio host and hip-hop artist, who worked for Radio and Television de Guerrero, a public media outlet. He was murdered Wednesday by unknown armed assailants, who attacked him while he was on the Cayaco-Puerto Marques highway.

Jarab also called on the Mexican government and authorities to guarantee a safe environment for journalists in the country. “It is urgent that the measures adopted by the authorities to guarantee the safe exercise of journalism provide tangible results. One of the main preventive measures is the fight against impunity in which most of these aggressions remain,” the press release reads.

Soriano’s relatives and friends marched in Acapulco Thursday to demand justice for Soriano. “We demand the arrest of the person who ended the life of a young man who leaves orphaned children who will never see their father again and a family,” a colleague said, stressing journalists live with the uncertainty of whether their friends and relatives will “come back home alive.”

His daughter, Sam Soriano, demanded governor Hector Astudillo to do his job and fic the situation of rampant violence that is affecting the state of Guerrero. During Astudillo’s administration, three journalists have been murdered in the state.

According to the organization Reporters on Guard, at least 65 journalists have been murdered during the administration of President Enrique Peña Nieto. On Thursday they laid the portraits of the 65 journalists in the Mexico City’s Zocalo or Main Square to demand safety.

“We will continue working on the justice Mexico needs,” the group tweeted Thursday.
