In the ranch located in Teuchitlán, Mexico, several clandestine crematory ovens were found along with human remains and personal belongings, in an alarming discovery that has generated international concern. UN spokesperson Liz Throssell highlighted that this finding is a reminder of the pain caused by forced disappearances associated with organized crime in Mexico.
The discovery came after the National Guard and the Jalisco State Prosecutor's Office inspected the ranch in September 2024 without finding conclusive evidence, leading the UN to point out the importance of reviewing possible errors in the procedure. Throssell urged the Mexican government to strengthen preventive measures against such acts and to provide protection and support to the families of the victims in their search for justice, truth, and reparation.
The UN Office for Human Rights has demanded that Mexican authorities conduct a thorough investigation following the disturbing discovery of human remains on a ranch in Jalisco. According to reports, this site had been used by the Jalisco New Generation cartel to train young recruits under false pretenses. This case adds to the growing concern about the impact of forced disappearances in the country, calling for more decisive and effective government action against organized crime and its consequences.
