The Third Office of the CEDHQROO opened an ex officio complaint upon learning of these facts.
The complaint file was filed under number VA / TUL / 014/03/2021 for violations of the human right to life and those that result, in order to investigate possible acts or omissions by public servants of the General Directorate of Public Safety and Traffic of Tulum, which by their nature could be serious and constitute human rights violations.
The ombudsperson, Marco Antonio Tóh Euán, stated that, regardless of whether the corresponding investigation has yet to be carried out, “any deprivation of life is regrettable and reprehensible, especially when it comes to people who are constitutionally obliged to respect, guarantee, protect and promote human rights ”.
Tóh Euán assured that a diligent investigation will be carried out on this event and launched an “energetic call” to all police corporations to conduct themselves with strict adherence to legality and human rights.
