And in Mexico, protesters gathered outside the attorney general’s office Tuesday to demand justice amid a growing number of femicides in the state of Mexico. This is activist Marta Avalos.
Marta Avalos: “We’re protesting because of the lack of attention and follow-up the authorities give to femicides in the country, because the government does not support us. They give us false figures. And we want them to take into account all the disappearances and homicides, and punish them, reaching the final consequences.”
We’ll go to Mexico later in the broadcast to look at the Mexican government’s surveillance against Mexican activists, journalists and human rights workers.
