Autodefensas
of Guerrero discovered seven additional clandestine graves (fosas) today in
Iguala, so far they have found bodies in 4 but did not give a tally today.
Miguel
Ángel Jiménez Blanco, head of the search committee, Unión de Pueblos and Organizaciones del Estado de Guerrero (UPOEG),
indicated the fosas were near a hill in the El Zapatero area.
He states they expect to find many more
graves but the process is slow because they only have picks and shovels, no
heavy duty equipment.
The question begs
to be asked, how is it the authorities are not finding any and they have the
heavy duty equipment and tools?
The
National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) launched an investigation into the
bodies found in different graves in a place known as Las Parotas in Iguala. The
agency, seeks to understand the actions taken by the Mexican State to identify
victims and what they are doing to locate those responsible for the deaths.
In
a statement of 14 October, CNDH stated that the autodefensas, located an area of land containing bones.
"Of particular concern is the situation of public insecurity in the State
of Guerrero," he said. and that
there is no justification for authorities not to make it a priority to implement
necessary measures to search for the missing students and additional graves .
Relatives say State and
Federal governments are blocking Argentine experts
Since
Monday, Argentine experts are seeking DNA testing of relatives of missing
youths matched to the discovered remains; however, the Attorney General of Guerrero and the Attorney General's
Office (PGR) have blocked their work, and they have not been allowed to access to
the bodies found in clandestine graves of Iguala.
Relatives
of the 43 students of the Ayotzinapa
rural school who disappeared on September 26th
accused the Federal government of Guerrero of the hindering
Argentine forensic team of
anthropologists to conduct investigations in Iguala.
At
a press conference, Meliton Ortega , Mauricio Ortega's father, expressed his
distrust of official investigations, since "the government is colluding
with organized crime" after all it was " was the police. Not narcos" who attacked the students.
Why is the guerrero state government still blocking anything?
ReplyDelete--Because it is all they can do now to cover up the misdeeds of their narcos doing double duty as paramilitary murdering for the government
Totally disgusting ie.Mexican Government.Arent they embarrassed at the way they treat the relatives.Guess it takes second seat to what they are trying to hide.They know where the students are but they don't want them found and I don't think they are alive or they would have been released by now.
ReplyDeleteThe authorities of Iguala know where the student's bodies are?They are playing a game again,wait and see,let the heat escape from the news of students kidnapped and horribly murdered..The sense of frustration of the family members must be indescribable?Course they know where they are,their police did it?
ReplyDeletelack of vigilance in the empty rural areas used by sicarios as mass graves where the tortured and killed are forgotten
ReplyDeleteGov doesnt want to cofirm deaths. They prefer them dissapeared.
