The Jalisco Special Prosecutors Office for Human Rights (FEDH) has presented sufficient evidence for charges to be brought against five state investigators accused of physical, psychological and sexual abuse against a woman they arrested in October, 2018, in the municipality of Chapala.
The offended party, who remains incarcerated in a state penitentiary, lodged a complaint with the Jalisco Human Rights Commission, leading to a jurisdictional hearing and a subsequent FEDH investigation of the case. Evidence, including specialized expert reports, confirmed that the woman’s human rights were violated at the time of her capture.
