The director of El Caribe and vice president of the Inter-American Press Society (IAPA) Manuel Quiroz, speaking at the society's 62nd General Assembly in Mexico City, expressed his concern about the recent assaults on journalists in the Dominican Republic, and stated that the increased violence would affect journalistic work. In his speech, Quiroz listed the murder of two journalists in the last six months, the launch of an explosive device to the vehicle of another journalist, and the attack on a photographer by the Police during a National Theater event.
