This Thursday, in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, the murder of María del Carmen Morales and her son, Jaime Daniel Ramírez Morales, occurred, a fact that has shocked Mexico. In response to this tragedy, the National Dialogue for Peace expressed its solidarity with the Collective Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco, to which the victims belonged.
The Collective emphasized the urgent need to guarantee comprehensive and effective protection for all search collectives in the country. In a joint statement, involving the Mexican Bishops' Conference, Jesuits Mexico, the Interfaith Commission for Peace and Justice (CIRM), and other actors, the murder was denounced as a "direct attack" on those searching for their loved ones in the absence of institutional responses.
The main demand to the authorities is for an immediate, thorough, and impartial investigation into the crime, as well as effective protection for all search collectives, especially in states like Jalisco, marked by high rates of violence.
Additionally, a call was made to establish extraordinary intervention mechanisms by federal authorities to stop the violence directed against human rights defenders and the mothers of missing persons. The National Dialogue for Peace emphasized that crimes against searchers impact not only the direct victims but all Mexican society, stating that fear and impunity cannot silence those searching for their loved ones.
In this context, national and international civil society has been called upon to demand justice for María del Carmen, Jaime Daniel, and all missing persons. The struggle for truth and justice becomes a collective demand that seeks to stop the violence against those searching for their loved ones, reaffirming the commitment to the defense of human rights in Mexico.
