Journalist Carlos Jiménez has filed a complaint as part of a series of actions taken to protect his freedom of expression and the right to inform the public. Jiménez and organizations like Article 19 believe that these actions represent an attempt at prior censorship that threatens their freedom of expression and access to information.
In a context where transparency in the performance of authorities is crucial, there are concerns about the misuse of digital violence laws to restrict the work of media and journalists. The Attorney General's Office of Mexico City has requested for the second time that Carlos Jiménez be imprisoned, relating to a legal conflict with a prosecutor from that office.
Jiménez pointed out on social media that this measure constitutes an attack on both his professional work and the right of the population to receive information about the actions of public officials. The defense of freedom of expression highlights the importance of protecting not only favorable opinions but also those that are critical or uncomfortable for public figures.
The legal dispute between Carlos Jiménez and the CDMX Attorney General's Office began when the journalist exposed that the office planned to report him for allegedly putting an official at risk by revealing the poor treatment of victims. Subsequently, Jiménez confirmed that they are now seeking his arrest. In his program on Canal 6, the communicator reiterated his commitment to the victims and the need to resort to available legal resources to counteract the censorship they face.
