The International Issues Discussion (IID) series at Ryerson University is pleased to present its fifth lecture of the Fall 2011 term, "Organized Crime in Latin America: More Than Drugs, Blood, and Bullets".
Our guest will be Luis Horacio Najera, a well-known Mexican journalist with over twenty years’ experience covering organized crime, corruption, human rights violations, and government abuses in Latin America. Najera also served as the Public Information Officer for the General Attorney’s office in Chihuahua. In 2008 he sought exile in Canada after receiving numerous death threats following his reports on Mexican drug trafficking syndicates. He is currently the 2011-2012 CJFE/Scotiabank Massey College Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto.
All are welcome and admission is free.
Founded in 2005, the IID is a non-partisan, student-led forum designed to engage all members of the Ryerson University community on major events and issues in contemporary global affairs through reasoned, objective, and scholarly discourse.
