MEXICO: Former ‘self-defence group’ leaders released
Hipólito Mora and Luis Antonio ‘El Americano’ Torres González are free again, barely two months after being imprisoned accused of instigating a shootout in December 2014 between former members of the ‘self-defence groups’ of armed vigilantes they led, outside the Michoacán town of La Ruana, that left 11 people dead. There are now concerns that tensions could once again rise across Michoacán, potentially putting the upcoming 7 June midterm federal legislative and state elections in jeopardy.
