Similar Stories to Mexico President To Deliver Annual Report On A Troubled Year on Bing News

His administration has also been stung by a string of scandals as well as reports of alleged torture and human rights abuses by police and troops. Sanchez said he lives in the industrial and residential suburb of Naucalpan, northwest of the capital, and two friends there have had to close their businesses due to extortion threats from gangs. "Besides the extortions there are robberies, there are always robberies, and even more in the neighborhoods," he said. Sagging oil prices have also dampened the rollout of Pena Nieto's much-touted opening of the energy sector to private companies, although experts say it will likely reap rewards over the long term. [...] this year an independent group of experts released a scathing report discrediting government investigators' official account of what happened to 43 students who were abducted by police in Guerrero state in 2014 and have not been heard from since. Several videos showing police and soldiers torturing detained suspects have surfaced, shining an uncomfortable spotlight on the behavior of security forces prosecuting the war against drug cartels. [...] earlier this month, the National Human Rights Commission determined that 22 of 42 drug gang suspects killed during a raid at a ranch last year were "arbitrarily executed" by police, who then planted guns on some of them to make it look like they had died in the shootout.
