Police officer who arrested El Chapo’s son shot 155 times in public execution
Last week saw 9 US citizens, believed to be part of an expat community in Northern Mexico gunned down in broad daylight by Mexican Cartels.
The group are believed to belong to a community following an extreme form of Mormonism which comprises entirely of US citizens who have been present in the expat community for over a decade.
The US government said it does not believe the group were targeted because off their beliefs, nationality or way of life. Instead the US statement said that the White House believes the massacre was a case of misidentify.
The funerals which will be held in secret in either/both Sonora and Chihuahua state in Mexico will be heavily guarded by the military and the families of the dead will be travelling in from across the US.
The funerals will be held in the tradition of the Mormon off shoot – The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints. A group founded by an imprisoned cult leader decades ago. The group is also believed to have strong links with the US state of Utah.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
