The Family of Lucio Cabañas, 50 Years after the Assassination of the Guerrilla Leader: “There Was a Clear Order to Exterminate Us”
|
|
|
In June of this year, an independent commission that had been charged by AMLO to investigate the so-called ‘’Dirty War’’ between 1965 and 1990 released a report that documented the atrocities committed by the Mexican government and armed forces. The same commission accused the military and other government bodies of obstructing their investigations.
The ‘’Dirty War’’ was the response of the PRI single-party government of the time to brutally repress all challenges by students, campesinos and indigenous peoples to the regime. One of the many emblematic cases was that of Lucio Cabañas. Less known is the persecution of his entire family, simply for having a surname in common with the legendary guerrilla leader.
