Two journalists among a group of four abducted in Mexico last week have been freed, following the release of a third three days ago. Another is still believed to be held.
Three were kidnapped while investigating reports that the director of a prison in the northern state of Durango had allowed inmates out to commit murders for a drug gang.
Milenio Television said its cameraman Jaime Canales and Televisa cameraman Alejandro Hernandez were released yesterday. Hector Gordoa, a reporter with Televisa, was freed earlier.
Oscar Solis, a reporter for the newspaper El Vespertino, who was abducted from his home the same night, is still missing.
Televisa, Mexico's biggest television network, yesterday cancelled a popular news show, Starting Point, in protest at the kidnappings. The screen went blank for the duration of the show.
At least nine journalists have been killed in Mexico so far this year, according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
