The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Latin American Working Group (LAWG) have sent a letter to the governor of the Mexican state of Guerrero expressing serious concern about reports of human rights violations and criminalization of social protest in the state, particularly against indigenous communities.
The letter specifically voices concern about the arrests of five leaders of the Me Phaa Indigenous People Organization on April 18 and asks for better due process guarantees in these and other cases involving indigenous people in the state. “*
