Regina Martínez – an acclaimed Mexican journalist known for her hard-hitting exposés of human rights violations and corruption – was beaten to death on 28 April 2012.

A man is serving a 38-year sentence for her murder. But he says he was tortured into making this confession and no forensic evidence ties him to the murder scene.  In partnership with A Safer World For The Truth, openDemocracy examines Regina’s death – and commemorates her life.
