On the International Day of the Victims of Forced Disappearances, families of the disappeared placed the photos and information of 8,640 disappeared on the Roundabout of the Disappeared in Mexico City. In Mexico, there are more than 110,000 disappeared.
"This memorial will stand as an incessant denunciation of the disdain and indifference of a policy that protects the darkness and silences the truth, a system that perpetuates pain without allowing healing."
Teresa Magueyal, a mother searching for her disappeared son and a member of the collective "Una Promesa Por Cumplir," was assassinated yesterday in Celaya, Guanajuato.

As of Jan. 21, Indigenous residents of #Aquila, #Michoacán, have blockaded the Ternium-Las Encinas mine to demand the appearance of human rights lawyer Ricardo Lagunes and community leader Antonio Díaz, who were disappeared on Jan. 15, and known for their work against the Ternium mine. The truck they were traveling in was found empty, riddled with bullet holes.
In solidarity, the autonomous Indigenous community of #Ostula has blockaded the Coahuyana bridge on the border of Michoacán and #Colima and family members of Ricardo Lagunes have set up an encampment in front of the state capital in #Morelia.
