The Jalisco Prosecutor's Office confirmed that there are no ovens at the Izaguirre ranch in Teuchitlán, but rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, warehouses, a tactical training area, and another for physical conditioning were found. The state agency informed that search, forensic, and investigative work in the area has been intensified in coordination with agencies of the Government of Mexico.
Technological tools such as multispectral and thermal drones, georadar, electromagnetic analysis, and electrical resistivity studies have been incorporated to detect possible anomalies in the subsoil related to clandestine burials.
Amnesty International called on the Government of Mexico to investigate the discovery of clandestine graves and ovens in Jalisco and Tamaulipas, states where about 30 people disappear daily. The executive director of AI in Mexico, Edith Olivares Ferreto, urged the State to clarify the facts, treat the relatives of the disappeared with dignity, and allocate resources for the investigation.
Recently, search collectives for the disappeared in Mexico discovered clandestine graves and cremation ovens attributed to organized crime in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, and in Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Amnesty International urged the State to open dialogue with the searchers and recognize their expertise in fieldwork. The organization pointed out the lack of action by the Mexican State in forced disappearances, which has led to the formation of collectives that have located hundreds of bodies of the disappeared.
