Mexico:
Human rights defender kidnapped and tortured
José
Enrique Morales Montaño, of the Center of Support for Workers (CAT)
in Puebla was kidnapped and physically tortured on May 15, 2012 as he
was headed to the Local Labor Board to accompany a group of textile
workers who were fighting a case against a factory in the region. His
captors kept a gun pressed to his head for extended periods of time,
and threatened to kill him and the other members of the CAT. In the
evening of the same day, they left him on an abandoned highway to
Veracruz, and stole his cell phone and backpack; he suffered serious
injuries.
Show
your solidarity with those in Mexico defending human and labour
rights and demand a swift resolution to this injustice.
