Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Mexico City on Sunday to protest the policies of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on the first anniversary of his inauguration. Peña Nieto’s election marked the return of the PRI party, which ruled Mexico for more than 70 years amid accusations of corruption. On Sunday, thousands of students, teachers, union workers and former prisoners marched to the main plaza. They joined tens of thousands of people rallying against Peña Nieto’s plans to privatize Mexico’s oil and gas sector. One protester described his arrest a year ago while on his way to oppose Peña Nieto’s inauguration.

Alejandro Lugo: “I was detained leaving my house. I was tortured. I am one of the cases most documented of torture by city government, by riot police and prison personnel. After being absolved of all crimes, we are going to denounce all that happened. These are grave violations. Obviously the right to protest basically doesn’t exist anymore here in Mexico City, nor does the right of personal integrity. The Internet is full of videos of police assaulting protesters and people who were nearby the protests. Freedom of expression is at risk.”

A new report from Amnesty International says Peña Nieto has failed to curb rampant human rights abuses in Mexico, including forced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and torture.
