Además, se encuentran desaparecidos Eva Alarcón y Marcial Bautista de Valle, defensores de derechos ambientales y miembros del MPJD, plagiados el pasado martes cuando viajaban de Guerrero al Distrito Federal. MAS

Mexico violence claims another member of peace movement - Los Angeles Times




REPORTING FROM MEXICO CITY — Another member of a Mexican peace movement has been slain, the second such incident in less than two weeks (link in Spanish to El Universal).

Trinidad de la Cruz, a peasant activist, was kidnapped Tuesday by armed attackers in the state of Michoacan, his associates said (link in Spanish). His body, with four bullet wounds and an ear sliced off, was discovered about 24 hours later, the Milenio newspaper reported (link in Spanish).

De la Cruz, 73, was abducted as he rode with about 18 other activists in a caravan sponsored by the Movement for Peace With Justice and Dignity, an anti-violence organization led by poet Javier Sicilia. Members of the group said the attackers, whom they described as paramilitary forces, stole their cellular telephones, gaining access to data on scores of activists.

"We are not only worried about this, we are alarmed and indignant," Sicilia told reporters. "People who raise their voices for justice are in terrible security conditions."  MORE
