Indigenous Tseltal student Roberto Encino López was reportedly arbitrarily detained, beaten and threatened by soldiers based at a military barracks near his home in Altamirano, Chiapas State, on 16 May. He was released later that day, but soldiers, who accuse him of stealing a hand grenade, have since kept harassing him, his brother, Carlos Encino López, and other students at the Technical high school in Altamirano.
