GENEVA, Switzerland (AFP) — United Nations experts called Saturday for impartial investigations into allegations of “undue interference” of protests seeking to draw attention to Mexico’s disappearance crisis during the football World Cup.
Security operations around tournament venues were reportedly used to restrict protests, the six independent experts said.
Protesters had in some instances been surrounded by police while peacefully distributing search notices for their disappeared relatives, while other groups were allegedly prevented from reaching planned demonstrations, they added.
