La Jornada: In a landmark ruling, issued in Ciudad Juarez on July 27, five people responsible for organizing a network of human trafficking, linked with the murder of at least 11 women, have been sentenced to 697 years in prison. They were found guilty of prostituting and murdering 11 girls, whose remains were found in the Navajo creek, a desolate landscape of the municipality of Praxedis G. Guerrero, 77 kilometers from Juarez.
Women played an important role in the proceedings that led up to the historic decision, with both the relatives of the victims and women’s rights defenders from the organizations Women’s Roundtable of Juarez and Justice for Our Daughters participating.

More Femicide Victims Identified from Border Graveyard
Frontera NorteSur: The parents of Esmeralda Castillo Rincon recently heard sad news about their long-disappeared daughter. The 14-year-old had been missing from her Ciudad Juarez home since 2009, and the parents had waged a long campaign demanding her safe return.
On January 16, however, the Chihuahua state prosecutor's office (FGECH) notified Jose Luis Castillo and his wife, Martha Rincon, that Esmeralda's remains were among those of other female murder victims recovered from the Navajo Arroyo in the Juarez Valley bordering the United States in 2012 and 2013.
