Josefina Reyes was executed on January 3, 2010. During two years had organized demonstrations and protests to denounce the militarization of Valle de Juarez and abuse of troops against the population. Along with Cipriano Jurado Herrera, director of the Center for Research and Solidaridad Obrera (CISO), documented 15 cases of illegal detention committed by military personnel (Proceso 1732).

once in Ciudad Juarez, their children, including Eleanor, the eldest, had closer ties with the Communist League September 23: "They would host home movies and spent about injustices in Chihuahua. Sometimes they went to Ciudad Juarez to paint at night, because the day was dangerous. "
Led by Eleazar, the brothers Reyes Salazar came to the farmers, especially those who were exploited in cotton picking. At first advised them to organize for better working patterns, then came the invasions of land and the founding of the colony Francisco Villa.

"They were projects that affected the environment, including the Rio Grande, where people still bathe. Thanks to the enthusiasm Reyes Salazar family we mobilize people in the U.S. and stopped everything, "says Alma Gomez, who is now part of the Center for Human Rights of Women of Chihuahua (CHRM).
The mystique of the Kings
Doña Sara Salazar continued: "Those who moved all were Eleazar, Elijah and Josephine. As for Reuben, he just helped out with his truck (van). It made him sound and screaming from the rooftops what we would do. So people got together to go to demonstrations.

"In all kinds of injustice were there, despite the risks they ran and threatening us. At first they were the judicial police and prosecutors. But the repression has intensified since 2007, with the arrival of the soldiers at Valley of Juárez. They were always investigating who we were, then as my daughter (Joseph) began to protest abuses by the soldiers chased us, "says Mrs. Sara.
were daily raids. In the house of Joseph, the soldiers took appliances and one day I found propaganda Andrés Manuel López Obrador. "The soldiers told my daughter: 'Oh, you are from López Obrador. Prejudicial to the consequences'. "
Josefina has once faced the military who wanted to take one of their children. "My daughter told one of them, 'Give me your gun and see who falls first, but my son is not what lead '. She acted with great courage, because those people are arbitrary, they are murderers, so we decided to go live in Ciudad Juarez. "
Before being killed, Josephine saw the death of one of his sons, Julius Caesar. Was shot at a party in Guadalupe. "A half block away was an Army armored, but the soldiers did nothing," says Sara.
on the murder of his daughter Josephine, said: "I went chasing (Alexander) Pariente, who was deputy to the north during the administration of José Reyes Baeza. He told me everything was fine, had already identified the murderers. Now that we mobilize to find my other children and my daughter, we demand that the investigation will show us. Only leaf removal of the body, nothing more. "
For Ruben, Sara says that the military had systematically harassed. The same raided his home they stopped in the street to check it. But he never fell silent. Sow was getting into his car sound and told people not to allow the soldiers to their homes would get involved:
"When he was killed, newspapers reported that security had asked for his people, the police gave it therefore sent six trucks to his funeral. Have what? He never wanted to leave Guadalupe, he said he did not hurt anyone. "
sad recent loss, Sara Salazar insists:" Since he (Calderon) was the President, thousands of soldiers came to the Valley of Juárez. Since then began to silence the loud voices. " Said that the troops did not protect people. And gives an example: "my house burned down (Tuesday, 15 February) and they, who are in a gym at 100 meters away, did nothing. What security? ".
Kidnapping
Doña Sara watched as Malena and Elijah Reyes and his daughter Luisa Ornelas were kidnapped late on Monday 7 February.
Elias, who had half his body paralyzed, and his wife traveled to Juarez in his truck to buy equipment for his bakery. Before returning to Guadalupe, she says, went through her and her sister, Malena and invited to spend the night with them.
Five kilometers before reaching Guadalupe four ran into a truck blocking the road. When braking, six men "dressed in black hood and came out with guns like those used by the Army." Firing guns into the air and shouted to get off the vehicle, says the interviewee.
Luisa, who was driving the van, was taken down by force. The attackers got into a beige Durango SUV, the passenger side, Sara and a granddaughter who accompanied her were lying on the asphalt.
"I asked the guy to take out that Elijah, who pulled me, because your problem could not leave because I loved Malena pull, but it was faint and I could not remove. They closed the door and climbed one to handle and just saw how my little girl and I pulled the van. "
Assisted by a neighbor, Sara and her granddaughter returned to Ciudad Juarez, narrated what happened to their relatives and the authorities. Marisela Reyes said
that, given the violence in the Juarez Valley, several families chose to flee. He also mentions the cases of the PRI municipal presidents Apolonio Amaya Fierro and his son Omar Amaya Nunez, killed in 2007 and 2006, respectively. They were working people, he says.
"The same happens with other families whose members have been killed, some plots were so very close to the Rio Grande. All this happened just when the military arrived and the Federals in the Valley. Over 60% of the inhabitants are gone, "says Marisela.
She and her brothers supported the decision of his mother, the elderly and in failing health in hunger strike which began on Wednesday February 9 outside the premises of the Attorney General's Office in Ciudad Juárez, demanding that their relatives were rescued alive. As of Friday, 21 moved their protest to the mansion Xicoténcatl in Mexico City.

A Calderón, Marisela was required to "withdraw the troops and end this stupid fucking war nobody asked "also blamed the current deputy of northern Chihuahua, Jorge González Nicolás, for" failing to ensure safety of life and family (Reyes Salazar) or the population of Ciudad Juarez. " Also on Friday
25, the representative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Javier Hernández Valencia, issued a statement noting that "the brutality against the Reyes family and how settled and insolent act of the perpetrators can only be explained by the impunity surrounding the murder of Josephine, which occurred last year, and the location of the three bodies "shows that violence against the defenders of human rights in Chihuahua has overflowed." Valencia Hernández
demanded clarification of the triple murder and urged authorities to adopt security measures for defenders of human rights and their families, as the agency has required since 2009.
to demands for investigations and punish those responsible, joined the National Commission on Human Rights (NCHR), which yesterday announced it would open a file for the disappearances, and Amnesty International (AI).
In Ciudad Juarez, the attorney Nicolás González reported that the bodies were located by a relative of Reyes Salazar as he walked the road from Guadalupe Ciudad Juárez. The bodies bore signs of torture and, according to experts, they had several days of being executed.
He anticipated that he would seek the intervention of the Attorney General's Office (PGR) to the assumption that the triple execution was the work of organized crime.
In the interview process, Marisela González Nicolás considers that "at least complicit in the crimes, I can not believe that he could not do anything to avoid them."
When asked his opinion about the course narcomensaje placed on the body, the sisters and Olga Reyes Marisela burst.
"Calderon gave the example where the boys killed Salvarcar. He dared to say they were criminals, while walking in Japan, the government is putting it (the narcomensaje) to remove the hook. What can you expect? Sinks do not come with! "Says Olga.
secondary and his sister: "The government will try to get all dirty, but here are going to fuck. We show how we are social activists, my brothers started from the seventies and we will stop. Right now we are going to swallow the anger and helplessness we feel, to give strength to my mother and to keep fighting. This follows Pa'lante. "
