Mexico: Fear for safety: Marco Vinicio Gallardo Enriquez

The above, son of Brigadier General Jose Francisco Gallardo Rodriguez, was assaulted and robbed on 8 June by two unidentified armed men, inside the military housing estate where he lives. Local human rights organizations believe that the motive of this attack was not robbery, as most of his belongings were recovered intact.
