Extrajudicial Execution of Humberto Morales Sántiz, a 13-year-old member of the National Front for the Struggle for Socialism in Chiapas.

RELEVANT FACTS

According to the information shared by the People’s Committee for Human Rights of the FNLS in Chiapas:

Humberto Morales Sántiz, a child, left at 2 pm to the farmland of fellow members in search for firewood, which he and his family use to cook.

At 5 pm, his parents began to worry because it was getting late and Humberto Morales Sántiz had not come back. At this time, his father and another member of the FNLS went out in search for him, but were unable to find him.

With the help and solidarity of their fellow members of the ejido—communally held land—they found Humberto’s lifeless body at 8 pm. He was lying next to a pile of firewood and had a gunshot wound in the head.

While the search party for the child was underway, the state police—illegally stationed on the El Carrizal lands—were moving about in that place and kept the light on in their watchtowers.
