On December 12, Hector Bautista who had been arrested on Nov. 3 on charges of child pornography was released. Journalists, human rights NGOs, and alternative media considered the detention of Bautista Flores as an attack on freedom of expression, and accused the government of Chiapas of a campaign of intimidation and repression. He left the prison of El Amate in the municipality of Cintalapa, after the withdrawal from criminal prosecution by the Chiapas Attorney General (PGJE).
