Via Amigos de Las Mujeres de Juarez:
Sadly, another woman’s body was found today in Juarez.
From Ester Chavez Cano of Casa Amiga [domestic violence shelter in Juarez]:
A young women’s body was found. She was the 27 year old mother of 3 children. Her body was found thrown in a pool of water in a colonia of the city, wearing a black brassier and pants. The authorities do not know the name of the victim nor her cause of death.
You may have seen the news – The Mexican federal government returned all the cases back to the state after the release of their final report. DEMAND a binational INVESTIGATION.
Visit our website http://amigosdemujeres.org to read news reports on the Mexican government’s dereliction of duty. Also see It’s not a myth the response to a concerted media campaign by the elites of Juárez to portray the victims as the criminals.
Amigos de las Mujeres de Juárez is asking those of you who live in border states to contact your state representatives and governor and ask that a binational INVESTIGATIVE body be constituted to begin an investigation that was never done by the Mexican government on the femicide cases. We hope to have this presented at the Border Governors meeting August 23rd to 25th.
Yes, I'm done with my tour and I'm back in Tucson and things are going well for me, but things are worse than ever in Juarez. Remember.
