Supreme Court Dismisses All Charges Against Echeverría
Mexico's Supreme Court definitively dismisses all genocide and criminal charges against former President Luis Echeverría related to both the 1968 and 1971 massacres. The court rules on procedural and statute of limitations grounds. The ruling is condemned by human rights organizations and victims' families as institutionalized impunity. Echeverría, at 87, is set free.
