By Ana Isabel Martinez MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's national security spokesman denied on Monday that 42 suspected gang members killed in a gunfight last week, in which government forces suffered just one fatality, were executed after the one-sided death toll raised doubts. The 42 deaths on Friday came less than a year after 22 suspected gang members were killed without loss by security forces in an incident the government originally labeled a shootout. Asked whether the 42 deaths on a ranch near the border of Michoacan and Jalisco states had been an execution, National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said the suspected gangsters had been killed in battle with government forces.

By Emma Batha LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A Filipina maid in Hong Kong has published stark photographs of burned and beaten domestic workers to highlight the "modern slavery" she says has long been the city's shameful secret. "Hong Kong is a very modern, successful city but people treat their helpers like slaves," said Xyza Cruz Bacani, whose black and white portraits won her a scholarship from the Magnum Foundation to start studying at New York University this month. It's common but no one talks about it, so I want to tell their stories, I want to tell people it's not OK to treat your domestic workers that way." Bacani is one of the 330,000 domestic workers in the former British colony, most of them from the Philippines and Indonesia.
