Mexican Cops Suspended In Connection With Torture Video
MEXICO CITY, April 19 (BERNAMA-NNN-EFE) -- Three members of Mexico's Federal Police have been suspended in connection with last week's appearance of a video showing the torture of a woman in custody, the force's director said Monday.
While only one Federal Police officer is seen in the video, two others who took part in the brutal interrogation were also suspended and placed under investigation, Enrique Galindo said.
"We have this exalted commitment to the citizens to serve and protect, and committing irregularities is not how you serve and protect the community," the Federal Police commander said in remarks to open the National Program on Police Human Rights Training.
The Defense Secretariat said last Thursday that the two military personnel who appear in the video - a captain and a female MP - were already in custody awaiting trial.
