The Mexican bishops are asking the government to guarantee security, justice, and to listen to the victims.

The Mexican Bishops' Conference (CEM) issued an urgent public message to the nation's government on September 14, demanding that authorities guarantee freedom, deliver actual security and justice rather than mere promises, and properly listen to victims. The Catholic leadership also called for an end to ongoing violence and demanded accountability regarding disappeared persons as the country observes its Fiestas Patrias.

In a separate development reported in the same regional timeframe, relatives, human rights defenders, the Catholic Church, and international bodies such as the United Nations marked the second anniversary of the fatal shooting of Honduran environmentalist Juan López, renewing widespread demands for justice in that case.
