FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9
PROGRAM # 8262 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
After 15 days, mothers of missing children stop the hunger strike and sit-in they were staging in front of the Ministry of the Interior. With their health broken by fasting and freezing temperatures, because they slept in the open during one of the coldest months of the year, women from the states of Guerrero, Michoacán, Veracruz and Colima returned to their states without getting the Attorney General’s Office to agree to take their cases. On top of that, one of their strikers is missing, she was transferred to her native Michoacán by federal authorities, and her whereabouts have not been corroborated to date. The main achievements of the protesters were two: they were able to file 20 legal claims for the cases of their missing family members, and the Federal Police personnel took samples of their saliva, promising them to confront those samples with the corpses found in mortuaries around the country. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this broadcast of the Voz Pública program, from Mexico City.
