MEXICO: Government on defensive over Tlatlaya killings
Mexico’s defence ministry (Sedena) issued a statement on 3 July insisting that soldiers involved in the killing of 22 people in Tlatlaya in the Estado de México in June last year, followed appropriate rules of engagement and were instructed to have “unrestricted” respect for human rights. The comments by Sedena came in response to documents released by the Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez human rights centre (Centro Prodh) a day earlier showing that senior officers had given the soldiers standing orders to “take out [‘abatir’] criminals”.
