The Human Rights Committee of Nuevo Laredo (CDHNL) described the murder of María del Carmen Morales and her son Jaime Daniel Ramírez Morales in Jalisco as a "cruel assassination," highlighting that this unfortunate event represents a concerning message of retaliation for other groups in Mexico.
The organization pointed out that the families of at-risk groups do not receive protection measures from state and federal governments, which increases their vulnerability. In a statement, the CDHNL expressed its solidarity with the victims' families and requested the federal government to clarify the events and provide immediate protection to the members of the Guerreros Buscadores collective.
Amid a situation of denial of truth by the federal government regarding the complaint made by the Guerreros Buscadores collective, the double homicide that occurred on April 23 in Jalisco has raised concerns. Raymundo Ramos, president of the CDHNL, stated that risk analysts could have foreseen this outcome as an act of retaliation against the collective, criticizing the lack of preventive measures and the smear campaign undertaken by certain sectors.
Due to the lack of security guarantees from the authorities, the Human Rights Committee of Nuevo Laredo decided to suspend search efforts and meetings with the federal government until protection is granted to the members of the "Tamaulipas Case" collective, whose families were victims of forced disappearances in 2018.
The families of victims of forced disappearances at the hands of the Navy, including individuals such as José Eugenio Hernández Romero, Silvia Miroslava García Macías, Markz Moreno Salas, and Israel Jiménez Palacios, have been demanding justice for seven years. However, the lack of protection schemes for their transfer from Nuevo Laredo has forced the postponement of planned meetings with the relevant authorities in Mexico City.
