A Local Activist in Mexico is Attacked and Her Brother and Friend Murdered.
On Dec. 14th, In the municipality of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magon, Oaxaca, during an Assembly to elect a mayor, human right activist Elisa Zepeda Lagoon was struck by a stick, dragged 20 meters by her hair, whipped and kicked. In the attack her brother, Manuel Zepeda Lagunas, was murdered and their mother hurt whilst her house was set on fire, detailed the National Commission of Human rights (CNDH). According to the testimony of the victim, she was attacked for “meddling in the affairs of the people ” The CNDH denounced the attack and issued a statement which says that it is investigating the facts. Allegedly, the Mayor Alfredo Bolaños and three other men, threatened her with a shotgun placed to her head, beat her with a stick, dragged her 20 meters by her hair, beating her to the ground and kicking her in the ribs. The agency said the attackers went to the home of the Mazatec activist to burn it with petrol bombs and arrest her brother, Manuel Zepeda Lagunas. Then he was taken to the public square tortured and killed, without any authority intervening to contain the violence. A family friend, Gustavo, was attacked with pipes and machetes, tossed into a pond and then killed. The commission said that the investigations will follow up promptly, monitor the performance of the Attorney General of Oaxaca to investigate those responsible and punished according to law. Elisa reported that the municipal and state governments tried to ignore her role as a defender of human rights and her community work with the Mazatec people, through which she has promoted the political participation of women and pushed for transparency and accountability in the town of Eloxochitlán. |

Corrupt people will do desperate things to stop others exposing them. This lady and her family have more balls than 99% of the world, I hope she gets justice for this and for her people. |
