Mexico City, July 18.- The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) condemned the murder of Aranza Ramos, who, according to the National Front Not One Less, was deprived of her liberty and then executed on July 15 at her home in Guaymas, Sonora.
In a statement expressing its outrage and deeply regretting the crime, the CNDH noted that Aranza Ramos was an indirect victim of the disappearance of her husband, Bryan Omar Celaya Alvarado; the reason she joined the Searching Mothers of Sonora in December of last year. "These events leave one more indirect victim, a 2-year-old boy, now an orphan."
He said they are all victims, like many who have had to organize to search for their relatives across the country, forced by the lack of government support, "investing their own resources, digging up human remains with their own hands, standing up in the fight in the hope of finding their relative, and at the same time longing to find them alive and not in one of those excavations."
She indicated that the official figures are alarming since there are nearly 80,000 missing people and more than 4,000 documented clandestine graves, "which is why the CNDH joins the demands and demands for justice from the groups of searchers, human rights defenders, citizen searchers and activists, but above all, makes a strong call to state and federal institutions to do their job, strengthen search efforts, and put an end to the violence that deprives entire families of fathers, mothers, daughters and sons, and places them before the dilemma of taking it upon themselves to do what the authorities should do."
The national autonomous body urged Sonora state authorities to conduct a prompt investigation, taking into account the line of inquiry arising from her search activity, in order to find those responsible for "this terrible murder" and to punish them according to the law.
