FRIDAY, MAY 12
PROGRAM # 8064 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Humberto Morales Sántiz, a 13-year-old child, was killed when he was collecting firewood in the community of El Carrizal, in the state of Chiapas. His body, with bruises and a bullet hole in his forehead, had to be taken to the federal highway to demand the authorities to acknowledge it was an homicide. However, the autopsy required by law was not carried out, and two months after the crime, there is still no investigation of the case, according to a political group. For their part, mothers of missing persons marched for the sixth consecutive year in Mexico City and rejected the new law for the search of missing persons approved by the Mexican Senate. They argue this law does not speeds up the search for the disappeared, nor it gives certainty about identification of the bodies. Martha Elena Ramírez, hosts this broadcast of the program Voz Pública, from Mexico City.
