UNAM Awards Posthumous Degree as Family Unveils Journalist-Safety Plan in AXE Ceremonia Case

The tribute revives scrutiny of delayed proceedings after a court rejected companies’ attempt to block imputations.

Overview

  • UNAM’s FES Aragón presented a posthumous Communication and Journalism degree to the parents of photojournalist Citlali Berenice Giles Rivera.
  • Her family launched the ‘Iniciativa Berenice Giles Rivera,’ proposing legal training in journalism curricula, a campus legal-aid unit staffed by law students, and courses that could be replicated across universities.
  • Mexico City prosecutors have formally imputed OCESA and Protección Privada Lobo over the 2025 crane collapse that killed Giles and fellow photojournalist Miguel Ángel.
  • The Juzgado Cuarto de Distrito denied an amparo sought by the two companies to avoid being imputed, a ruling reported ahead of an initial hearing that ultimately did not proceed on March 6.
  • The family’s legal team says the Ministerio Público sought to exclude the companies and to fragment the case, a move they argue would dilute accountability.
