Since 2007 almost 30,000 people have been killed in Mexico in the fight against organized crime. Although the Mexican Government has stated that most of the killings correspond to members of criminal gangs fighting against each other, there have been innocent victims too. Civilians have been killed by criminal gangs and by Army officials. Although national and international human rights organisations have raised their concerns about these events, impunity surrounds most of the cases.
Rupert Knox, Amnesty International researcher on Mexico, describes Mexico´s human right situation and the failure of the Government to protect them. The interview was held at Amnesty´s offices in London on December 2010.
