Families in Mexico had been desperately looking for their loved ones who vanished without a trace. They formed a
civilian search group together to help each other while they tried to find answers. Then, they discovered
a cartel-run "extermination camp" in Jalisco. In a heartbreaking and horrifying revelation, they uncovered
mass graves, three underground cremation ovens, and piles of shoes, clothing, and human teeth. The sheer scale of this atrocity evokes haunting comparisons to the most horrifying chapters of human history.
But the most disturbing part? Authorities already knew about the site, but claimed they hadn't realized it included crematoriums. Sign the petition to demand an investigation into how authorities seemingly overlooked these atrocities.Months before the civilian searchers made their gruesome discovery, Mexican authorities raided the same ranch in La Estanzuela. They arrested ten individuals, rescued two kidnapped people, and found one body wrapped in plastic. Yet, despite deploying investigators, search dogs, and even a backhoe,
officials claimed they found no evidence of mass graves, let alone a full-scale extermination camp. If civilians, with nothing but metal rods and their own determination, could uncover the horrors hidden beneath the soil,
how did law enforcement fail so completely? Or, more chillingly - did they deliberately look the other way?
For years, Mexico has been plagued by
a crisis of disappearances, with more than 110,000 people officially reported missing. The cartel that operates in this region, Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), is known for its brutality and far-reaching influence, not just in drug trafficking but also in extortion, illegal recruitment, and violent enforcement of its power. Reports suggest that some victims at the ranch were lured there by fake job postings, expecting work as security guards or electricians, only to be
forced into a nightmare of military-style training, beatings, and, for many, a gruesome death.The civilians who made this discovery have done what the government failed - or refused - to do. The failure of authorities to uncover this camp earlier is not just incompetence; it raises deeply unsettling questions about corruption, complicity, and cover-ups.We demand an immediate and independent investigation into why authorities failed to find this extermination camp when they first raided the site. Who gave the order to stop searching? Why was such an enormous crime scene overlooked? Were officials pressured - or even bribed - to look the other way?
The families of Mexico's disappeared deserve answers. They deserve justice. And above all, they deserve a government that does not abandon them to do the work of law enforcement with nothing but their own hands and heartbreak.
Sign this petition to demand an investigation into this horrific failure of justice and to ensure that those responsible - whether cartel members or corrupt officials - are held accountable.
