GUADALAJARA, Jalisco, Jalisco (Apro) — Through different videos shared on social networks, three men, two of them with their hands tied and one carrying a poster board, are seen being forced to shout through the streets “this is what I get for being a rat,” while they are escorted by armed men dressed in tactical clothing and wearing vests with the initials of the Jalisco Cartel – New Generation (CJNG).
Behind them, a pickup truck is seen driving slowly and from there, through a megaphone, a man tells them to “shout at him.
In another video, the alleged robbers can be seen walking barefoot, one of them with his shirt and pants torn, and now they are escorted by motorcyclists.
In a third video, armed men ask the detainees to get together, and begin to kick and hit them in the head. They ask them to “shut the fuck up”, and warn them: “if you steal again you will go to hell”.
The comments of the Ocotlán residents who recorded the videos are surprised.
Last October, the federal government sent 200 members of the National Guard and the Army to guard the municipality of Ocotlán, after residents demonstrated to demand the departure of the armed forces for alleged abuses of authority.
