The IACHR demanded justice in light of the barbarity found at the Izaguirre ranch
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights demanded that the Mexican government investigate, sanction, and provide reparations to the victims of the Teuchitlán case.
The Izaguirre ranch was identified as a possible extermination center for organized crime, where human remains and personal belongings were found.
However, it was the search collectives who located clandestine graves with charred bone remains. Once again, it was the mothers who did the work that the authorities did not want to do.
Mexico must guarantee comprehensive reparation, according to the IACHR
The IACHR warned that the search for the disappeared can't fall solely on the collectives.
The State must guarantee a professional investigation, sanction those responsible, and offer comprehensive reparation to the victims. It also requested that the identification of the remains be done with reliable scientific methods.
The case provoked national outrage
Thousands of people held vigils in public squares and denounced the federal government's omission.
The IACHR supported these expressions of memory and demand for truth.
