Proceso: "The InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has condemned the murder of transgender activist, Agnes Torres Sulca, whose body bore signs of torture when it was discovered on Saturday, March 10 in a ravine in Puebla.

The regional body called on the Mexican government to "officially investigate such acts and punish those responsible." It recalled that Torres "contributed to various groups and, among other political actions, participated in the promotion of bills before the Congress of Puebla."
