OF US WAR ON DRUGS POLICIES IN MEXICO
Phoenix, AZ -
Upon return from the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, the Human Rights Commission of the Comités
de Defensa del Barrio will deliver to the office of the Mexican Consulate
in Phoenix, AZ a demand for the government of Mexico to invite the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples to investigate the Human Rights violations implicated in
the forced disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero,
Mexico. Missing since September 26, 2014
the 43 students of the Raul Isidro Burgos Normal School were violently abducted
and disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero, with testimony and evidence pointing to
collusion and complicity with agents of the Mexican federal government and
military apparatus, guided and funded by the US funded "War on Drugs"
policies known as Plan Merida-Mexico.
With support of Indigenous Peoples from around the
world, María de Jesús Tlatempa Bello, mother of José Eduardo Bartolo Tlatempa -
one of the 43 Ayotzinapa students, participated in the TONATIERRA delegation to
the United Nations in New York. She delivered in person and via official UN
channels the Petition of Concern to
the UN Special Rapporteur on Human
rights of Indigenous Peoples, Ms. Victoria Tauli-Corpuz. The blatant impunity of state sanctioned violence and
criminal collusion in Mexico has produced 30,000 disappeared and missing victims
across Mexico currently, and 100,000 deaths since the US funded and directed
War on Drugs, now known officially as Plan
Merida-Mexico.
An Inter-American Commission on Human Rights Interdisciplinary Group of technical experts is also now working collaboratively
in Mexico towards the locating of the disappeared students, calling for
punishment for the responsible parties, and assistance for their families.
