Vanished journalist turns up after 17 months

A journalist who went missing 17 months ago from his Paraguay radio station, Radio Azotey, has reappeared alive in São Paulo, Brazil. Enrique Galeano explained that he went into hiding after being kidnapped and tortured by gangsters who later freed him with the warning: "If you return to Paraguay, you're dead." Shortly before his disappearance, he had reported on the activities of gun-runners and drug traffickers. (Via IFEX)
