A Mexican government official says the military continues to obstruct the search for truth decades after the country's so-called “dirty war” against leftist dissidents.
MEXICO CITY — Decades after Mexico’s “dirty war,” the military has obstructed a government investigation into human rights abuses, the official heading the probe said Wednesday.
Encinas said some officials’ actions clearly violated a presidential decree granting investigators unfettered access to records. During that time hundreds of people were illegally detained, tortured and disappeared by the military and security forces. Over 2,300 direct and indirect victims are still alive today, the inquiry commission said Wednesday.
Fernández told reporters that military officials initially withheld documents they claimed were private for reasons of national security, personal privacy, or “preserving relations” with other countries.
