FRIDAY, JUNE 23
PROGRAM # 8095 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Given the lack of justice that the Mexican people is enduring, more and more victims are seeking the protection of international courts. This is the case of Valeria, an 11-year-old girl raped and murdered in Nezahualcóyotl city, whose disappearance report was ignored by the authorities and whose captor was found dead in his cell three days after being apprehended. The case was closed without investigating if the defendant acted alone, and without checking whether he actually committed suicide. Another complaint already mentioned in international organizations is the one of the Nayarit people and the Wixarika community, whose biodiversity and sacred reserve will be affected if Las Cruces hydroelectric plant is built. The work is carried out by the federal government. Analysts say it will be the energy and water supply for Canadian Minning Companies, that have 22 concessions in that area. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the program Voz Pública, from Mexico City.
