Migrant Rights to Higher Forum.
This is a report on two petitions to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Washington DC. The family of Anastasio Hernández Rojas and international law experts urge the human rights body to hold Border Patrol agents accountable in the brutal beating and killing of Anastasio in San Diego, CA. And human rights advocates ask the commission to examine alleged massive violations committed under the Frontera Sur program, a joint Mexico-US operation to crackdown on Central American migrants.
Guests: Guillermo Torres, Faith Rooted Organizer, Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, Los Angeles, CA; Roxanna Altholtz, Associate Director, International Human Rights Law Clinic, UC Berkeley; Bernardo Hernández Rojas, Brother of Victim, San Diego, CA.
