Dear Colleague,
Narco News correspondent Bill Conroy reports that a squad of heavily armed Mexican soldiers this past weekend accosted Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, while she and her 14-year-old daughter were traveling in Acapulco, Mexico to attend Easter Sunday mass.
Conroy reports:
"The incident played out in the Mexican state of Guerrero, near the city of Acapulco, at a time when the Mexican military is under increasing scrutiny for human rights violations related to its role in the war on drugs.
"…Kennedy, a prominent Catholic author and long-time human rights activist, had reason to feel dread.
"… Since Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on Mexico's drug "cartels" in late 2006, more than 65,000 Mexicans have been murdered and thousands more disappeared, tortured or raped - no small number at the hands of Mexico's military, the spearhead of Calderon's drug-war dragnet."
