In February 2009, two indigenous leaders of the Organization for the Future of the Mixteco People (OFPM) were forcably detained during a public act at which local authorities were present. 10 days later, their bodies were disovered with visible signs of torture. PBI accompanied their lawyers, from the ‘Tlachinollan’ Human Rights Centre, due to the increase in threats and harassment they received following the assasinations.
