Uruguay editor receives death threats

An international press watchdog has called on the Uruguayan authorities to offer protection to the editor of a weekly newspaper, César Casavieja, who has been assaulted and threatened with death. After his Montevideo paper, Señal de alerta, published a picture of a suspected of drug-trafficker, Casavieja was attacked by the man. Police intervened, but arrested the journalist while letting the attacker go free. In calling for Casavieja to be protected, Reporters without Borders asks: "How is it possible that police let him go and arrested the victim?" (Via IFEX)
