Mexican Journalist Abducted and Beaten Over Reporting

Released after two days, the incident underscores the peril faced by journalists in Mexico.

Mexican journalist Jaime Barrera, who reported on drug cartel violence, was abducted, beaten, and questioned by armed men in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Barrera was released with a warning to tone down his journalism after being missing for two days.
The abduction highlights the ongoing danger to journalists in Mexico, one of the deadliest places for reporters outside of war zones.
The incident gained national attention partly because Barrera's daughter is a member of President López Obrador's Morena party leadership council.
Authorities have not disclosed details on the captors or whether a ransom demand was made.
