Rights Watch Conducted Research I Executive Summary When Enrique Peña Nieto took office on December 1, 2012, he inherited a country reeling from an epidemic of drug violence that had taken the lives of more than 60,000 Mexicans in six years. The “war on drugs” launched by his predecessor, Felipe Calderón, had produced disastrous results. Not only had it failed to rein in the country’s powerful criminal groups, but it had led to a dramatic increase in grave human rights violations committed by the security forces sent to confront them. Rather than strengthening public security, these abuses had exacerbated a climate of violence, lawlessness, and fear. Throughout most of his presidency, Calderón denied security forces had committed any abuses, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Only in his final year did he acknowledge that human rights violations had occurred, and take a handful of positive— though very limited—steps to curb some abusive practices. However, he failed to fulfill his fundamental obligation to ensure that the egregious violations committed by members of the military and police were investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice. That responsibility now falls to President Peña Nieto. And nowhere is it more urgent than in cases where people have been taken against their will and their fate is still unknown. What sets these crimes apart is that, for as long as the fate of the victim remains unknown, they are ongoing. Each day that passes is another that authorities have failed to find victims, and another day that families continue to suffer the anguish of not knowing what happened to a loved one. Human Rights Watch has documented nearly 250 such “disappearances” that have occurred since 2007. In more than 140 of these cases, evidence suggests that these were enforced disappearances—meaning that state agents participated directly in the crime,

  • Héctor Infanzón
    Héctor Infanzón - PIANIST & COMPOSER …I was raised on Latin music and improvisation is the channel for me to express all my emotions, ideas and the personal way I conceive the world; through improvisation I can explore different musical forms, that's why I try to experiment with different musical elements every time I play and compose.--Héctor Infanzón A major feature of Héctor Infanzón's compositions is the inclusion of all the styles that have influenced him, thereby making his work varied and versatile. It also prevents him from being identified with one particular musical genre. Infanzón draws elements from Mexican folklore, classical and Latin American musical idioms, and from the Afro Caribbean tradition. He then shapes it all within his own sound. Finally, he adds improvisation, the one element that rounds everything up and transforms it into jazz. His music emerges from the core of traditional forms, yet it expands to move beyond the limits of styles. This hybridization reflects life lived in a place like Mexico City. Such is the work of Héctor Infanzón: a permanent search for new trends, a music that leaves the indelible mark of urban expression. All in all, this is the music of a composer born in the very heart of the city he loves. The Héctor Infanzón Group plays primarily the highest quality original compositions. This feature has rightly earned its leader top praise from international critics. During his studies at the Escuela Superior de Música, Héctor played music recitals at many of the most prestigious music halls in Mexico City. He also performed as soloist with the Chamber Orchestra of Bellas Artes.

  • “Vamos Al Noa Noa”: De Homosexualidad, Secretos a Voces Y Ambivalencias En La Música De Juan Gabriel
    Rodrigo Laguarda México “Vamos al Noa Noa”: de homosexualidad, secretos a voces y ambivalencias en la música de Juan Gabriel En el libro Latin American Popular Culture, An Introduction, editado por el conocido historiador especialista en México, Willian H. Beezley y Linda A Curcio, se apuesta por el estudio de la “cultura popular”. Ésta es entendida como el conjunto de formas mediante las que la cultura es experimentada en la vida cotidiana (Beezley y Curcio 2000). Los autores señalan que en América Latina la lectura y la escritura no han sido vehículos primarios para la expresión cultural. De ahí la importancia del estudio de la cultura popular, entendida como todo aquello relacionado con el placer de vivir. Con los momentos de risa, deleite y escape. Con héroes que convierten la vida de una comunidad en algo memorable. Que muchas veces transgreden fronteras políticas, culturales y sociales dando a la gente la emoción que causa el desafío de las reglas establecidas de la autoridad. La propuesta de este trabajo es pensar a Juan Gabriel como un héroe de la cultura popular que ha jugado un papel importante en esta creación de identidades individuales y grupales. En particular, en la conformación de la identidad gay en México. No puede dudarse que la música de Juan Gabriel ha causado un gran regocijo al público mexicano “Vamos al Noa Noa” desde los años setenta. Pero, como lo señala Antonio Marquet, Juan Gabriel no es sólo el cantante del amor y el desamor. Es un transgresor que irrumpe en el espacio para situarse en el terreno de la femineidad, de acuerdo con los cánones occidentales de la masculinidad.

In a candid address to guests at his party, the president said military intelligence had warned him that there was information that the presidential airplane would be sabotaged during a planned tour of Tamaulipas state. The threat prompted the government to order military specialists to conduct a thorough and careful inspection of the presidential plane and to take other extreme security measures. "Members of the armed forces deactivated the risk," journalist Carmen Aristegui said in her blog Aristegui Noticias. "Afterwards, [Calderón] flew to Tamaulipas, where he had scheduled a trip." The president did not give a specific year when the threat occurred, but media speculation centered on 2007 or 2008.
