Mexican Women Mark Eureka Anniversary

HeadlineAug 29, 2007

In Mexico, dozens of black-clad women marched through Mexico City Tuesday to mark the 29th anniversary of the Mexican human rights group Eureka. The marchers commemorated the anniversary of a 100-day hunger strike that led to probes into political murders and the release of political prisoners.

Mexican Senator and Eureka founder Rosario Ibarra: “Freedom to political prisoners, freedom to the disappeared, an end to torture, and punishment to those guilty — that is all. And it’s not vengeance, it’s justice. The law should be respected. That is what we want.”
