Following the violent eviction of a sit-in by members of a teachers union from the centre of Oaxaca City, social conflict broke out in Oaxaca. Between 2006-2007, numerous human rights violations were documented by civil society organisations, including arbitrary detention, torture, extrajudicial execution and enforced disappearance.
PBI participated in two civil observation missions to the state during the conflict, and in 2008 opened a permanent team in Oaxaca.
