| Mexico

Former President Luis Echeverría Álvarez dies on July 8, 2022, at the age of 100. He dies without ever being convicted for his role in the Tlatelolco massacre or the 1971 Halconazo. His death is marked by widespread condemnation from human rights organizations and victims' families who emphasize that justice was never served. Survivors and families of the dead note that the perpetrators of one of Mexico's worst political atrocities died with complete impunity.
