Higinio Trinidad de la Cruz and Javier Flores Elías, Nahua activists who oppose mining in the Sierra de Manantlán, on the border between Jalisco and Colima, were deprived of their freedom early Friday morning by members of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG), with the alleged support of municipal police from Cuautitlán de García Barragán. Armed individuals, escorted by alleged municipal police officers, went to the villages of Lagunillas and Tiroma, in the Nahua community of Ayotitlán, to take the activists from their homes and take them away in several vans to an unknown destination. In the afternoon, both were released.
