No one has been held accountable for the torture of Claudia Medina Tamariz
Demand justice for Claudia Medina Tamariz
Electric shocks ... beating ... sexual assault ...
This was just the start of the torture that Claudia Medina Tamariz suffered on August 7, 2012 when she was taken from her home in Mexico in the middle of the night by a squad of marines.
Claudia was falsely accused of being a gang member and tortured through the night. She was wrapped in plastic to disguise the marks from the beating. The next day she was tied to a chair and left outside for hours in the brutal mid-day sun.
She signed a false confession to make the torture stop. She was paraded before the media as a dangerous criminal. But later that month, all but one of the charges against her were dropped, and she was released on bail.
To date, no one has been held accountable for this terrible abuse.
Please take action now to send a message to Mexico’s Federal Attorney General urging him to investigate Claudia’s torture allegations fully and promptly, and for those responsible to be held to account.
