"If they free him, and he runs away and murders me, burn it all down!"
On average, 10 women or girls are killed in Mexico every day.
"If they free him, and he runs away and murders me, burn it all down", stated Elena Ríos, a saxophonist from the Mixteca region of Oaxaca (@brujamixteca).
Ríos was the victim of an acid attack in September 2019, orchestrated by the former deputy of the PRI [Revolutionary Institutional Party], Juan Antonio Vera Carrizal. In 2020, the direct perpetrators of the chemical injury confirmed the responsibility of the businessman and politician, who offered 30 thousand pesos in exchange for workers from one of his construction projects to commit the assault on the 26-year-old woman.
"With
a made-up hearing and an agreement reached today, my aggressor was
released. This is Mexico", the musician declared via her Twitter
account after a judge in the state of Oaxaca decreed house arrest for
the politician and intellectual author of the femicide attempt.
The saxophonist stated her aggressor falsely affirmed that he is ill, thus managing to get a
lower precautionary measure, guaranteeing him house arrest.
More than 1,000 femicides occurred in Mexico in 2021, second only to Brazil according to the Associated Press
On average, 10 women or girls are killed in Mexico every day.
