Families and activist groups searching for missing persons in Mexico are facing increasing pressure to accept the deaths of their relatives without forensic evidence. This practice has drawn criticism from legal experts, including Santiago Corcuera Cabezut, who argue that such demands cause profound harm to the families involved. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between official state narratives and the persistent efforts of search collectives who maintain the demand that their loved ones be returned alive. The movement is defined by the rallying cry, 'Because they were taken alive, we want them back alive,' which serves as a central pillar for those seeking accountability for disappearances in the country.
