About this fact, Mayor Zacarías Curi assured that there was already an approach on the part of the Human Rights Commission of the State of Yucatan (Codhey) to address the situation and investigate.
He also recognized that there was excessive use of force in the arrest, so the police officers involved were sanctioned. At the moment, they were arrested, by the Public Security and Transit Directorate in Progreso.
The mayor argued that they will attend to the requests of the Codhey because he said that these are not the ways to conduct the arrests.
