Political Activist Beheaded In Central Mexico

Political Activist Beheaded In Central Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Feb 6 (BERNAMA-NNN-EFE) -- Police found the decapitated body of political activist Gustavo Salgado on a highway in the central Mexican state of Morelos, the People's Revolutionary Front, or EPR, said Thursday.

The body of the 32-year-old EPR member was found on Wednesday afternoon, a day after he was reported missing, by police in Mototepec, a town outside the city of Ayala.

Salgado, who appeared to have been tortured, was identified by EPR members, who blamed the government for the murder.

"This crime is part of the policy of terror that the state has implemented to try to scare the popular movement in general and our organisation in particular," the EPR said.
