In Morelos, exhumations in the Jojutla graves have resumed for the fifth time, a process marked by irregularities, protocol failures, and gaps in evidence documentation. The activist acknowledged the prosecutor's willingness to address requests but clarified, “We do not validate anything until the exhumed bodies are identified and return home.” Edith Hernández Torres, a representative of the Regresando a Casa Morelos collective and sister of Israel Hernández, kidnapped in 2012 and found in the Tetelcingo graves, described the start of the work as “rushed and uncontrolled.” The collectives accompanying the families noted that one positive aspect was the supervision by prosecutor Fernando Blumenkron Escobar, though they warned that trust would depend on the results. The work is being carried out in common graves used for years by the Prosecutor's Office of Morelos, which irregularly deposited bodies in the municipal cemetery's common grave, mainly between 2007 and June 2014. Both activists agreed that without rigorous and transparent follow-up, past errors could repeat, affecting body identification and families' right to recover their loved ones.
