Five Years of Mexico’s Internal ’War on Terror’
27 July 2006, by Comité Cerezo MéxicoIn the intervening years the Cerezo Committee’s work expanded beyond the brothers’ case to many other political prisoners. Alejandro explains: “We have already documented 500 cases of political prisoners in Mexico, prisoners of conscience and people wrongly arrested. Some were tortured. We try to bring all these documents to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.” Most of the prisoners are from the three states of Chiapas, Guerrero and Oaxaca. It is at the state level that much of the human rights abuses occur, according to Amnesty International. Growing social and labour unrest in the country has been met with intensified state repression, with mass arrests, shootings and rapes among the violations reported in various incidents.
