Book Synopsis



Cuando el asesino es el Estado: un libro durísimo, pero necesario, que recoge los desgarradores testimonios de las víctimas civiles de la violencia ejercida por las fuerzas de seguridad.

«Esta es una guerra contra el pueblo de México. Se dice que es una guerra contra el crimen organizado, pero no. Nosotros pensamos que es una guerra contra el pueblo, porque es al pueblo al que han estado desapareciendo y matando». Yolanda Morán, mamá de Dan Jeremeel Fernández Morán, desaparecido por el Ejército en 2008

Este libro surge a partir de una investigación enfocada en un grupo específico de crímenes de guerra: las desapariciones forzadas y las ejecuciones extrajudiciales cometidas por las fuerzas de seguridad del Gobierno de México (agentes federales y estatales: soldados, marinos, Guardia Nacional y policías). Se enfoca en los delitos contra víctimas inocentes o indefensas, específicamente contra hombres y mujeres sin vínculos con el crimen organizado sobre los que no pesaba ninguna sospecha y que tampoco eran parte de ninguna investigación: personas que salieron a comprar comida, a trabajar, a la escuela, a atender necesidades básicas o a divertirse.

Ningún Gobierno en el poder reconoce este tipo de abusos, más allá de la manida frase de que son delitos cometidos por alguna «manzana podrida» --que excepcionalmente se filtró en sus filas--, pero no hay consecuencias legales ni reparación del daño para las víctimas o sus familiares. La violencia del Estado es sistemática y generalizada. Sobra decir que casi todos los crímenes quedan impunes. ¿Por qué el Gobierno los encubre?

Para Permiso para matar se entrevistaron a 191 familiares directos y allegados de 135 víctimas. Cada uno narró sus pesadillas y todos piden que se haga justicia. Como sociedad, no podemos seguir mirando a otro lado. Su indignación debe ser la nuestra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

When the State is the Murderer: a very hard, but necessary, book that collects the heartbreaking testimonies of the civilian victims of the violence exercised by the security forces.

"This is a war against the people of Mexico. It is said that it is a war against organized crime, but no. We think it is a war against the people, because it is the people who have been disappearing and killing." ─ Yolanda Morán, mother of Dan Jeremeel Fernández Morán, disappeared by the Army in 2008.

This book arises from an investigation focused on a specific group of war crimes: forced disappearances and extrajudicial executions committed by the security forces of the Government of Mexico (federal and state agents: soldiers, marines, National Guard and police). It focuses on crimes against innocent or defenseless victims, specifically against men and women with no ties to organized crime who were not suspected and who were not part of any investigation: people who went out to buy food, work, school, attend to basic needs or have fun.

No government in power recognizes this type of abuse, beyond the hackneyed phrase that they are crimes committed by some "bad apple" - which exceptionally filtered into its ranks - but there are no legal consequences or reparation for the damage for the victims or their families. State violence is systematic and widespread. Needless to say, almost all crimes go unpunished. Why is the government covering them up?

For Permission to Kill, 191 direct relatives and relatives of 135 victims were interviewed. Each one narrated their nightmares and all ask for justice to be done. As a society, we cannot continue to look the other way. Their indignation must be ours.
