Human rights groups: Juárez residents report abuse by soldiers

Residents of Juárez are caught between drug violence and human rights violations committed by Mexico's security forces, according to a report released today by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Miguel Agustin Pro Juárez Human Rights Center (Center Prodh).

The report "Abused and Afraid in Ciudad Juárez" focuses on human rights violations in the context of Joint Operation Chihuahua.

The report cites five cases that involved alleged acts of torture, forced disappearance and sexual harassment of women by Mexican soldiers who were deployed to Juárez for the operation that began in March 2008.

"Ciudad Juárez is a glaring example of the damaging consequences of increasing the military's interaction with civilians in the context of counter-drug operations," said Luis Arriaga, the director of Center Prodh. "Human rights violations are rampant because these soldiers are not punished for the abuses they commit."

The Chihuahua Human Rights Commission, a government agency, reported in September 2009 that it had received more than 1,450 complaints of alleged violations by the security forces during Joint Operation Chihuahua.

Maureen Meyer, WOLA associate for Mexico and Central America and the report's main author, said "We want to give voice to victims of human rights violations by Mexican security forces.

"Civilians in Chihuahua are not only afraid of the drug traffickers, they are also often afraid of the security forces that are meant to protect them."

HEY Senior-Presidente-Comandante CALDERON.....Your people need you to go after their Human Rights in MEXICO.

"Civilians in Chihuahua are not only afraid of the drug traffickers, they are also often afraid of the security forces that are meant to protect them."

The same corruption they have had since their inception. I believe that the Cartels already run the country and that they have for a long time.
