Army Officer Held "Responsible" for Chiapas Massacre: Accused Found Dead at Defense Ministry

On April 8, 1995, senior Mexican army officers invited us to discuss the human rights situation in Chiapas and offered information on the internal investigations conducted by the army into several violent incidents of the 1994 Chiapas uprising of the Zapatista National Liberation Army and its suppression. From our conversations and from documents that we were permitted to copy, we learned important facts that had not been made public concerning the killings of 11 people during an army occupation of a public hospital in Ocosingo, Chiapas.
