By Brian Jackson
 |  |
The Mexican authorities need to ascertain whether or not any state officials, including those working for the state-owned train operator, were complicit with the criminal organization that carried out the abductions and extortion, both in this and other cases.Pillay also condemned the threats directed at Father Alejandro Solalinde, one of Mexico's most prominent defenders of migrant rights.

While Mexico has condemned [JURIST report] Arizona's attempts to curb immigration into the US through the controversial SB 1070 [bill materials; JURIST news archive], activists believe that Mexican immigration laws are even more restrictive [UPI report], and that immigrants to Mexico routinely face abuse and harassment [AI report, PDF].
