Since December 2014, more than forty people from the Mazatec community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca, have been persecuted and/or detained on trumped-up charges, without conclusive evidence, and subjected to legal proceedings that violate due process. Torture and ill-treatment have been used. The families have worked tirelessly to seek justice and peace. Women are at the forefront of this struggle.
