These facts were reported and an investigation is currently open in the military prosecutor in the Av Prev 27ZM/16/2010 to determine responsibility and punish the soldiers who fired from behind a group of unarmed men and women farmers.
In all these facts are two constants, the use of force and violence by armed civilians and military against Javier Torres Cruz and his family, and the ominous complicity of the state and federal authorities investigate and punish those responsible .
The assassination of campesino ecologist Javier Torres Cruz, can not go unpunished for what it represents, for having had the strength, courage and community support to denounce the abuses and atrocities of the narco-cacique Rogaciano Alva Alvarez and have confronted and denounced military abuses are committed in the Sierra de Petatlán for many years.
The Guerrero state government must act immediately to collect the evidence and the evidence needed to arrest, disarm and demobilize the group known as "The Arreola" who act under orders of the chief of the criminal group imprisoned in the maximum security prison the Altiplano.
