Mexican Truth Commission Documents 25 Years of State Violence

Mexico's truth commission releases major findings documenting 'systematic and widespread' human rights abuses by the state from 1965 to 1990, identifying 8,594 victims and 591 responsible individuals. The investigation — rooted in the 1968 Tlatelolco era — urges declassification of remaining US records. The government created a 'Special Investigations and Litigation Team' for dirty war prosecutions and launched Sistema Angelus, a database organizing thousands of government records including those related to the Tlatelolco massacre.
