"Our wish is that the US see us as equals:" A Q&A with Comité Cerezo (Mexico)
14 August 2015, by Comité Cerezo México1. 21 years after NAFTA went into effect, neoliberalism is still making inroads (is alive and well) in Mexico. Over the last year or so, structural reforms were passed, which largely favor corporate interests and privatization of public goods. During that same time, torture, forced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and harassment have increased. Is there any connection between the reforms and this repression? If you look at the Mexican states with the most land concessions to foreign (…)

#AYOTZINAPA The terrorism of the State and the human rights of the victims.
13 November 2014, by Comité Cerezo MéxicoAfter listening the press conference given by the Solicitor General of the Republic, his refusal to admit the Ayotzinapa case as a State crime made evident to us that the severe human rights violation against the Ayozinapa normalistas students will not be –as they have not been- treated as their exceptional gravity requires.
The conference, far from being informative, is part of an impunity mechanism whose aim is to demobilize the outrage of the civil society about this STATE CRIME. The (…) -
Mexico: Rampant State Impunity Fuels the Fires of #Ayotzinapa

Protests and actions supporting the normalistas of Ayotzinapa have not stopped since September 26. News of the forced disappearance of 43 (…) -
Neither state’s absence nor isolated fact: #Ayotzinapa is the result of the State’s criminal politics.
24 October 2014, by Comité Cerezo MéxicoThe attack, the illegal execution and forced disappearance perpetrated in Iguala against the Ayotzinapa normalistas students are neither the result of the State’s absence nor an isolated fact nor the outcome of bad functionaries. By no means it can be ascribed to the infiltration of the drug traders into the State structure.
