Today is Mother’s Day in Mexico. And the mothers of the disappeared continue with their struggle to find their loved ones. This is the media advisory from the families to invite you to join them in solidarity.
Fifth March for National Dignity in Mexico
“Mothers searching for their Sons, Daughters, Truth and Justice”
The disappeared continue to challenge state and criminal power every time they are remembered in a public event. It is a struggle without rest.
(Historia de la Desaparición. History of Disappearances. Roberto González Villarreal)
Dear national and international civil society, all churches, religions and spiritual beliefs, international media, international organizations. Dear women and men that search for justice and build peace,
For the fifth consecutive year, we, the parents of the disappeared, will go to the streets to express not only our pain but also our discontent with state authorities who do not search for our missing ones.
Our struggle will not stop. We will continue demanding state authorities to search for our loved ones. We will not let authorities distance themselves from the responsibility of guaranteeing the return of our disappeared. We want to let state authorities know that our search and fight will not end until we find our loved ones.
The march will take place on May 10th, 2016, Mexico’s Mother’s Day. Please show your solidarity by signing Amnesty International’s petition online
