 For Santiago Rafael Cruz 

¡Presente!

 

 

On April 9, 2007, Santiago Rafael Cruz, a FLOC organizer, was brutally murdered at the FLOC office in Monterrey, Mexico.

 

As of today, the crime has not been resolved and is still under investigation. One person has been apprehended. He has presented a complaint arguing his confession was done under torture and blames two men and a woman as the actual murderers. One of the accused was caught by US authorities trying to cross the border last November and returned to Sonora but was liberated soon thereafter by Mexican authorities. FLOC continues to pressure both the state and local government to help us achieve justice for Santiago.

 

FLOC encourages you to Take Action.  Santiago did not die in vain.
