MEXICO: Government ‘must disclose’ data on missing persons
Mexico’s federal government has been ordered to disclose how much it has done to investigate reports of missing persons. The order came from IFAI, the agency charged with ensuring compliance with the freedom of information law, after the executive secretariat of the national public security system (SESNSP) twice claimed that it did not have the data. In a parallel development the foreign relations ministry toned down its recent spat with the United Nations Human Rights Council over its claims about ‘generalised’ practice of torture in Mexico.
