Includes bibliographical references.Foreword / by Ariel Dorfman -- Prologue -- Maps -- An oral history of infamy -- Afterword -- Names of the murdered, coma victim, and disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero, on September 26-27, 2014."Harrowing personal narratives describing how Mexican authorities killed, injured, and disappeared scores of students and others in a still-unsolved crime"--"On September 26, 2014, police in Iguala, Mexico attacked five busloads of students and a soccer team, killing six people and abducting forty-three students--now known as the Iguala 43--who have not been seen since. In a coordinated cover-up of the government's role in the massacre and forced disappearance, Mexican authorities tampered with evidence, tortured detainees, and thwarted international investigations. Within days of the atrocities, John Gibler traveled to the region and began reporting from the scene. Here he weaves the stories of survivors, eyewitnesses, and the parents of the disappeared into a tour de force of journalism, a heartbreaking account of events that reads with the momentum of a novel. A vital counter-narrative to state violence and impunity, the stories also offer a testament of hope from people who continue to demand accountability and justice"--- Subjects: Escuela Normal Rural de Ayotzinapa; Mass murder; Kidnapping; Disappeared persons; State-sponsored terrorism;

- Orders to kill : the Putin regime and political murder / by Knight, Amy W.,1946-author.(CARDINAL)765146;
Includes bibliographical references and index."'Western leaders should be aware that when they shake hands with Putin, they shake hands with a murderer.'--Leonid Martyniuk. In Russia, the twenty-first century belongs to Vladimir Putin. His political dominance has lasted two presidential terms, an appointment to prime minister, and a controversial election to a third presidential term. And like the violent tsars and Soviet revolutionaries who came before him, he maintains his grip on power through coercion and intimidation. As journalists, activists, and political opponents in the Putin era continue to fall victim to suspicious illnesses and outright murder, a pattern has emerged. No matter who is charged with a specific death, the order to kill appears to come from above. Amy Knight, whom The New York Times called the West's foremost scholar of the KGB, presents a thorough and provocative examination of murders under the Putin regime. Knight offers new information about the most famous victims, such as Alexander Litvinenko, the former FSB officer poisoned while living in London, and the statesman Boris Nemtsov, murdered outside the Kremlin in 2015. She puts faces on many others forgotten or less well-known in the West. And she links Putin to acts of terrorism--including the Boston Marathon bombing. She also explores what these murders mean for Putin's future, for Russia, and for the West, where Donald Trump has claimed, 'Nobody has proven that he's killed anyone .... He's always denied it .... It has not been proven that he's killed reporters.' Orders to Kill is a timely and chilling read in a world increasingly subject to one man's thirst for revenge."--Jacket.Covert violence as a Kremlin tradition -- How the system works : Putin and his security services -- Galina Starovoitova : Putin's first victim? -- Terror in Russia : September 1999 -- Silencing critics -- Mafia-style killings in Moscow : Kozlov and Politkovskaya -- The Litvinenko story -- The poisoning -- Continued onslaught against Kremlin challengers -- Boris Berezovsky : suicide or murder? -- The Boston Marathon bombings : Russia's footprint -- Another democrat falls victim : the Nemtsov muder and its aftermath -- Kadyrov, Putin, and power in the Kremlin.- Subjects: Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, 1952-; Political violence; Assassination; State-sponsored terrorism; Secret service;

Los hechos de Iguala nos obligan a reflexionar sobre el momento que vive México: retratan con crudeza la degradación de las instituciones cuya obligación es procurar justicia y protegernos; al mismo tiempo nos retratan como sociedad, muestran cuálesson nuestros temores más profundos, pero también nuestras esperanzas. En medio de la polarización y la soledad que se vive en un paíscomo México, la gente ha comenzado a olvidar que el dolor que la injusticia provoca a los otros debiera ser nuestro propio dolor. En esta investigación el lector recorrerá el laberinto del caso, sus trampas, su oscuridad y la luz. Llegará a la calle Juan N. Álvarez, verá los casquillos y las sandalias tiradas en el suelo.
