Ten extermination camps reported in Nuevo León

14

According to the collective United Forces for Our Disappeared in Nuevo León, at least 10 organized crime extermination camps have been detected in the state.

Leticia Hidalgo, founder of Fundenl, mentioned that to date they do not have precise figures, but as of 2021, 867,556 human remains had been found in seven camps.

However, other sites have been found in the municipalities of Vallecillo, Juárez, and Santa Catarina.

“We in Nuevo León have been finding different extermination camps. I believe we were the first collective to start calling them ‘extermination camps’ several years ago because that’s what they are,” said the activist.

“We managed to rescue 17 bodies, 17 people who had been missing for more than eight years,” she specified.

As a sign of mourning for the recent discovery of an “extermination camp” in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, the collective United Forces for Our Disappeared in Nuevo León will install 400 pairs of shoes and candles and is calling for a peaceful protest.

Leticia Hidalgo, founder of the collective, provided details of the event, which will take place next Saturday, March 14, at 5:00 p.m. on the Heroes’ Esplanade in front of the Government Palace.

“We, the United Forces for Our Disappeared in Nuevo León, are calling for people to gather in front of the Palace in the plaza to express our outrage, our pain, our repudiation, and our rejection of the appearance of this other extermination camp in another state of the Republic,” the activist said.

She stated that what is happening in the country is unacceptable with the apparent complicity of the authorities.

“Enough is enough because it’s impossible for the authorities not to have been involved. Of course, this can be done because they are allowed to, and this takes us back to Nazi countries, to countries that believe in extermination, and it’s happening in Mexico,” he said.

The Guerreros Buscadores collective located a training and extermination camp for organized crime in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, where 400 items of clothing, as well as backpacks and notebooks, among other evidence, were found.

Saturday’s event will also serve to recognize the work of the Guerreros Buscadores collective of Jalisco.
