La Jornada: "Statistics released by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) indicating that 47,000 killings have occurred in the drug war is a "macbre number," even though it is a number that has been minimized, because there are NGOs that have counted more than 60,000 deaths. But what is most important is that the authorities do not consider the human and social damage that has been left by this conflict. This includes between 10 and 15,000 missing, and more than 120,000 offspring affected by these deaths and the thousands of wounded, said Jose Luis Pineyro, a specialist in national security and armed forces.
Javier Sicilia, leader of the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, called for the mourning of the death of any human being, because of an elementary sense of brotherhood, with regard to the numbers reported by the PGR." Spanish original
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. 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.
