The National Human Rights Commission says a 12th journalist has been slain this year in the country, which is one of the world’s deadliest for the profession.

Local media outlets identify the victim as Nevith Condes Jaramillo, founder of a news website called El Observator­io del Sur. He was found stabbed to death Saturday at his home in Tejupilco, a town in the state of Mexico a three-hour drive southwest of Mexico City.

El Observator­io del Sur promises “independen­t socio-cultural citizen journalism.”

The rights commission said “violence against journalist­s, in all its forms, is one of the principle obstacles for our country to consolidat­e as a democracy.”
