Mexico Institute Mourns the Death of Javier Arturo Valdez Cárdenas

The Mexico Institute wishes to offer its sympathies and condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Javier Arturo Valdez Cárdenas, the journalist who was shot and killed on Monday in the state of Sinaloa.

The Mexico Institute would like to show solidarity with journalists and reporters throughout Mexico at this difficult time.
