MEXICO: On the defensive again
More revelations continue to put pressure on the Mexican government over human rights. In the latest development two senior government officials have had to apologise publicly after the appearance of a video showing a woman being tortured by members of the security forces. Meanwhile the government’s account of the abduction and presumed murder of 43 trainee teachers in Iguala, Guerrero, in September 2014 continues to be less than transparent. The government’s poor human-rights record may have been a factor in a sharp decline in the approval rating of President Enrique Peña Nieto.
