report to the UN organizations on the abduction of relatives of Josefina Reyes
Amnesty International urgent action performed for the missing relatives of Josephine.
The February 7, 2011, in the village of Guadalupe Distrito Bravos, in the Valle de Juárez, Chihuhua, armed men with goat horns that were manning a truck Durango brand, color sand, forced the family of Josefina Reyes stop your vehicle and made some shots in the air. The command stopped Elias Reyes Salazar, 58, Malena Reyes Salazar, 47, and Louise Ornelas Soto, 52. Malena are brothers Elijah and Josephine Reyes and from that time are missing.
The undersigned organizations believe that it is not an isolated event. On January 3, 2010 Josefina Reyes, human rights defender who denounced military abuses in Ciudad Juarez, including their own children, was murdered. The crime remains unpunished. On August 18, 2010, Ruben Reyes, Josephine's brother was killed. Nor is there any results in the investigations of this murder.
Emilia Gonzalez, COSSYDHAC said: "The authorities have an opportunity to end impunity in the bombings and attacks against human rights defenders and their families in the state of Chihuahua. The urge to investigate this case with seriousness and urgency it deserves. "
few days ago, Margaret Sekaggya, Rapporteur of the United Nations (UN) human rights advocates said that Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries for" human rights defenders who are fighting against impunity in cases of alleged human rights violations. "The same report noted that" although usually know the identity of the alleged perpetrators, it is known that among them are members of the police, military and armed groups. "
The Center for Women's Human Rights (CEDEHM), the Human Rights Center Paso del Norte, the Commission for Solidarity and Defense Human Rights (COSSYDHAC) and Justice for Our Daughters reported that Amnesty International is aware of the case and has now spread to an urgent action asking its members worldwide to write to the Mexican authorities urging them to investigate the whereabouts of Josefina Reyes family. In addition, these organizations sent the information in this fact Margaret Sekaggya, Rapporteur of the United Nations (UN) human rights defenders.
Finally, Lucha Castro, said CEDEHM not understand the actions of the authorities. "On 6 February a large group of armed police took away the child Emanuel Manero Tarango, 10, the arms of his mother when he went to church, violating the rights of the child and the mother because she did not show any warrant or make any diligence. Instead of using excessive force by police numerous elements to deter children from their mothers, I think the police should be directed precisely to investigate and find the family of human rights advocate Josefina Reyes, to prevent happen again, a tragedy in our state.
