MEXICO CITY — A community activist who had been threatened over a road project was shot to death in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas. State prosecutors said activist Sinar Corzo was shot to death on a street in the town of Arriaga, Chiapas late Thursday. Two years earlier he had tangled with local officials over construction work at a local market. On Friday the National Human Rights Commission decried Corzo’s killing. The governmental commission says that 41 activists and human rights workers have been killed in Mexico since 2006.
