The autodefensa leader, José Manuel Mireles, recorded a new audio in
which he demands to the government justice for defending his people “those who
did not, those who did not defend themselves, are appearing in clandestine
graves that are being discovered throughout the Mexican terrain, for having
waited for the institutions instituted to provide security and protection, to
do their job,” he said.
Mexico City, Mexico.
April 28, 2017– The founder of the autodefensas in Michoacán, José Manuel
Mireles Valverde, who is imprisoned in CEFERESO #4 in Nayarit, broadcasted an
audio in which he demands justice from the Secretariat of the Interior (SEGOB),
National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), and the Supreme Court of Justice of
the Nation (SCJN).
Likewise, Dr. Mireles questions
these government bodies, as well as “the other rich people” to explain their
definition of justice, since Mireles, like other autodefensas, “for having used
our constitutional right to self-defense.”
“We humbly ask them to explain
to us, as a people that we are, what is their true definition of justice? Because those of us who defend ourselves from
being murdered are imprisoned for defending ourselves, and those of us who waited
for justice to be administered are dead and buried,” he says.
The leader explained that
“those who did not, those who did not defend themselves, are appearing in
clandestine graves that are being discovered throughout the Mexican terrain,
for having waited for the institutions instituted to provide security and
protection, to do their job, to do their justice, what they never did,” the leader
explained.
Mireles demanded
justice for all those who, like him, sought justice by their own means, and not
only for “the murderers of the nation.”
“Justice only applies
for the benefit of the political class and the rulers, the law only applies to
the most fucked people in Mexico, which are us, the majority, and that we are
all innocent of which we are accused of, with some exceptions.”
