Rights agency: illegal searches by army, police are common in parts of Mexico - The Washington Post: "Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission says police and soldiers regularly burst into homes, plant evidence and take people’s possessions, and the problem has increased as Mexico’s war against drug cartels has heated up.
The issue is drawing renewed attention in Mexico because police stormed into the home of a gray-bearded poet this week looking for an alleged cartel boss."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
