‘Yomara’: “If I stay, they will kill me”

The same week as two men were charged and arrested for the crime, in an unrelated case her sixteen-year-old brother was abducted while he was working collecting fares on the buses in May 2014. He was later found dead.
When the investigation into his death did not advance, Yomara decided she would look into the murder herself.
Yomara did not file a police report for any of these incidents and sought help from a local non-governmental organization that assists state prosecutors with criminal investigations and that had organized her participation as a witness. But no one was able to guarantee her safety.
She is now in Mexico where she has started asylum proceedings and is awaiting an answer.
