The organization Amnesty International (AI) denounced the strategy of the Mexican Government to address the disappearance crisis. They denounce that the strategy lacks a comprehensive approach and has not been built with the participation of search collectives.
"The measures announced by the Mexican Government to address the serious crisis of disappearances in the country lack a comprehensive approach. They were not developed through a constructive dialogue with the search collectives"
stated the international organization.
The statement comes after the discovery of clandestine graves and crematoriums on properties in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, and Reynosa, Tamaulipas. There, search groups have been threatened by organized crime and even by state agents.
Demand for protection for searchers
The organization urged the Mexican Government to ensure the safety of those searching for their relatives, whose complaints "can't be ignored."
It also insisted that the investigation into the findings in Jalisco must be "diligent, professional, and ethical." They state that any delay can lead to the loss of crucial evidence.
