Antimonumento 5J

An antimonumento was installed adjacent to Antimonumenta, in the Plaza de Armas, in front of the State Government Palace, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

Giovanni's brother, Christian, recorded the arrest, which shows the officers insulting his family while taking him alive into the police van.

[1] His brother contacted the mayor, Eduardo Cervantes [es], who asked them to pick Giovanni up the next day at the police station.

[1] Demonstrators took to the streets of the historic center of the city, where they vandalized the State Government Palace and clashed with police officers, who repressed the protest with tear gas and arrested 26 people.

However, organized riot squads (not wearing their uniforms) began arbitrarily arresting the protesters; witnesses said they used electric shocks and threatened to hand them over to the cartels.

[7] The following day, protesters again occupied the streets, calling for the agents to free the demonstrators and provide an explanation of the whereabouts of up to 38 detainees who were reported to have forcibly disappeared.

Alfaro offered a public apology and ordered the release of all detainees,[11][12] though some of those detained had been abandoned on the edge of the city the previous night.

][a]The collectives deplored both the FGR's declaration that such events were outside its jurisdiction and the CNDH's determination that no forced disappearances or torture had occurred.

[22] The following morning, Alfaro confirmed that he had ordered the removal of the monument, together with Pablo Lemus Navarro, the municipal president of Guadalajara, because there had been no permits for its installation.

[23] The collectives #5deJunioMemoria and the Centro de Justicia para la Paz y el Desarrollo filed a complaint with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the removal of the monument as well as other acts of repression by state authorities.
