Mexico's President Vicente Fox broke his silence over newspaper workers who are trapped in their offices in Oaxaca, Mexico.  Fox received pressure from international human rights groups to intervene in the blockade of newspaper staff held by pro-government activists.  Noticias is one of the few newspapers to report on government corruption.  Fox told the governor of Oaxaca, Ulises Ruiz, to resolve the situation and added that not allowing them to publish is a violation of their freedom of speech. Carlos Larial is with the Committee to Protect Journalists said that Fox’s demands might not have an immediate impact.
