LACIS Lunchtime Lecture Series

Presented in Spanish (with simultaneous interpretation) by NAVE Visiting Scholar Francisco Cerezo. Militarization, fueled by over 1.1 billion in military aid from the US and justified by the War on Drugs, has led to increased violence, political repression, and human rights violations in Mexico. The Comité Cerezo promotes and defends human rights of victims of political repression and is active in a national campaign to protect human rights defenders.
