The Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez Human Rights Center explained that it was since December 31, 2021, when the Eleventh District Court in administrative matters in Mexico City admitted an amparo claim against the FGR for the failure to create the BNDF, appeal that was filed by Olimpia Montoya, sister of a young man who disappeared in Guanajuato.
The amparo claim claims the omission of the Prosecutor’s Office, which according to the victims’ relatives and social organizations, has affected their right to truth and justice.
