A new video shows the moment when gunmen broke into the home of journalist Roxana Guzmán and kidnapped her, a local director of the news page Pulso Informativo del Sureste.
According to local reports, the armed men forced their way into Guzmán’s residence during the early morning hours and took her away against her will. The incident was captured on security cameras, which recorded several individuals entering the property before leaving with the journalist.
The kidnapping has generated concern among press freedom organizations and fellow journalists, who have called on authorities to locate Guzmán. Mexico remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, with reporters frequently facing threats, intimidation, kidnappings, and violence linked to organized crime and corruption.
The State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) reported that it has launched a search and investigation to locate the journalist. As of this writing, authorities have not released information regarding possible motives or identified any suspects involved in the abduction. The investigation remains ongoing.
