FRIDAY, JULY 7
PROGRAM # 8105 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
In the Mexican state of Tlaxcala, police authorities do not investigate allegations of disappearance of women and girls. According to the lawyers of the victim’s families, when there is evidence to find the disappeared persons, or to prosecute their captors, the police destroys it. This complaint was submitted to Mexico’s Attorney General, but in two different cases of abducted teens, officers were not punished although they lost the videos provided by the families, as well as samples of semen taken from one of the victims, who was recovered by the family. Furthermore, in this edition Tonatiuh Sarabia denounces the execution of his sister Meztli, the imprisonment of his two brothers and the house arrest of his father, who founded a union of street vendors in Puebla. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the program Voz Pública, from Mexico City.
Guests: (audio cuts) David Peña, Asociación de Abogados Democráticos, Ms. Celia Corona, mother of “Sandra”, a girl who was less than 12 years old when she was sexually abused in San Pablo del Monte, Puebla; Miriam Pascual, lawyer of Red Retoño; Tonatiuh Sarabia, lawyer of the Unión Popular de Vendedores Ambulantes, 28 de Octubre, Puebla; María de Lourdes Mejía Aguilar, mother of Carlos Sinuhé Cuevas Mejía.
