The Juarez Journalists Network reported three city police attacks on reporters in one week in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The latest came the evening of Friday, Feb. 3, when police officers arrested and beat a reporter for El Diario in the newspaper's parking lot, according to Clases de Periodismo and Objetivo Radio.

Journalist Joel González filed a complaint with the attorney general for abuse by authorities after the journalist was attacked and locked up in jail when he tried to report on the arbitrary arrest of a citizen in front of the newspaper's offices, according to El Diario de Juárez.
