Overview
- The Tribunal Electoral del Estado de Campeche found that comments by Carlos Martínez Caamal, Abraham Martínez and Hubert Carrera Pali on La Barra Noticias were offensive, stereotyped and constituted gender-based political violence.
- After the Sala Federal de Xalapa upheld the TEEC ruling, the three journalists read a scripted apology on their YouTube and Facebook program to Governor Layda Sansores.
- Two control judges barred Jorge González Valdez and Tribuna Campeche from referring to the governor and directed the Tribunal Superior de Justicia del Estado to appoint a government censor for their publications.
- More than two weeks after the judicial order, the state judiciary has not fulfilled the appointment of the mandated government censor to review Tribuna Campeche’s output.
- Journalist Abraham Martínez also faces five additional complaints from government authorities alleging moral harm, gender-based political violence and defamation.
