Mexican Human Rights Defenders Speak Out | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Alejandro Ramos of Guerrero and Gerardo Espinoza of Chiapas will address human rights of Mexican communities and Central American migrants in Mexico and how the United States affects them.

In the ‘drug war’ in Mexico promoted by the United States, more than 150,000 people have been killed and another 27,000 forcibly disappeared since 2007. The case of 43 Ayotzinapa student teachers disappeared in Guerrero in 2014 uncovered massive crimes against humanity in Guerrero and across Mexico. Human rights attorney Alejandro Ramos of the ‘Morelos y Pavon’ Human Rights Center defends families of disappeared and others in Guerrero affected by violence.

Although we can’t find the event on Facebook, the promoter submitted the event for September 23rd.
