Mexico has become a land where the law cannot put a stop to violence. Attacks, deaths, shootings and extorsions have become the daily bread for millions of mexicans. Yesterday, the office of the newspaper El Norte in Monterrey was attacked by gunmen who shot and launched two grenades against two subsidiaries of the newspaper, with one exploding after it landed inside an office but no one was injured, according to local media (Photos by Reuters).

Besides the government, activists have taken the risk and become involved, especially in regards to the migrants, who are the target of narcos. Catholic priest Alejandro Solalinde (C), head of the migrants' shelter "Hermanos del camino" (Brothers Of The Road), addresses the media as Scalabrini Sister Leticia Gutierrez (L), director of the Mexican bishops Human Mobility Ministry, and Alberto Herrera Aragon, director of Amnesty International Mexico, listen during a news conference in Mexico City. Solalinde is returning to the migrant's shelter in Ixtepec, Oaxaca state, after he left the country in May due to several death threats he had received. The government has given him four bodyguards for his safety, according to Solalinde.
