Human rights in Mexico: Mexico searches for peasant activist who disappeared 41 years ago

Radilla was the president of the town council in Atoyac de Álvarez – the birthplace of Mexican guerrilla leader Lucio Cabañas, who was gunned down by soldiers in 1974.
In a rare move, Mexican authorities have announced that they are actively investigating the disappearance of a community activist in Guerrero state who went missing 41 years ago.
According to the Guerrero Truth Commission, the Mexican government was responsible for the disappearance of 512 people between 1969 and 1985.
Since the 43 students from Ayotzinapa went missing last year, the small town in Guerrero has become a symbol of Mexico’s dark past of repression in the state.
The trainee students were from the state of Guerrero, as was peasant community leader Rosendo Radilla.
