Two criminals detained by the Zapatista authorities confessed their participation in a kidnapping and murder. They revealed the whereabouts of the victim's body, which led to the arrest of other involved parties. Government forces mobilized, detained suspects, and seized belongings from affected communities.
Corrupt authorities faced pressure and threats from human rights organizations. Meanwhile, the Zapatista government conducted its own investigation with a focus on Truth and Justice in common. Despite government actions, the release of the innocent detainees Baldemar and Andrés was achieved.
The EZLN denounced the corruption of the government and the injustices perpetrated against indigenous peoples and social movements. The importance of justice and truth was highlighted in a statement by Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés. The release of the two Zapatistas was a result of pressure from human rights defenders, national and international solidarity, and autonomous justice.
In the midst of this struggle for justice, the issues of extortions, kidnappings, and murders against vulnerable communities were mentioned. A call for solidarity with other affected peoples was made, emphasizing the need to maintain values such as truth and justice in common.
