Mexico's Human Rights Crisis and Grassroots Movements at the Edge of Elections
Monday, March 26, 4:30-6PM, Haverford College
Omar Garc铆a is a survivor of state violence in Mexico. Since the attacks of Iguala against the students of Ayotzinapa in 2014, he has become an activist demanding justice for the 43 disappeared students and the more than 30,000 families of disappeared people in search for their beloved ones. Attend this talk to hold a conversation about Mexico's impunity, human rights crisis and grassroots movements at the edge of elections.
After protests demanding justice and an end of impunity in Mexico, harassment, discredit campaigns, intimidation and surveillance by the government have been systematic, targeting families of the 43 disappeared students, survivors, and human rights organizations that are supporting them. Nonetheless, the persistence of the families, survivors, human rights organizations, such as Center for Human Rights Pro Ju谩rez, as well civil society, has brought the case to the Inter American Commission on Human Rights.

This talk will be in Haverford鈥檚 Multicultural Center (Stokes 106), and it will be in Spanish with English translation.
