In Mexico, the Catholic priest and Indigenous activist Marcelo Pérez was killed by two gunmen Sunday as he left Mass in the southern state of Chiapas. Pérez was a member of the Tzotzil Indigenous group, well known for his activism on behalf of indigenous peoples and farmworkers. This is a community member who had worked with Marcelo Pérez.

Chiapas community member: “We have called on the government to clarify this case and bring justice to Father Marcelo, a great priest who always advocated for the poorest and for the people in need, who always listened and helped and now has been murdered. We demand all the government agencies to cooperate and give answers to clarify all this.”
