    Rights report: Mexican feds tortured 5 suspects

    MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican human rights authorities say five men detained in the killings of two agents and a car-bomb attack in Ciudad Juarez were tortured by federal police to confess their roles in the crimes.

    The National Human Rights Commission said Sunday the country must investigate six federal officers and a doctor who didn't report signs of severe beating.

    Police had accused one man of being a lookout in a July 2010 car-bomb attack. They had also accused the five men of killing two police officers.

    Police have dropped the accusations, but the men remain in jail on drugs and weapons charges.

    Federal police said the men were members of the La Linea gang when they were arrested in August 2010 in the border city.

      May Human Rights Watch should conduct a few interviews with drug cartel members. Wait until they are really strung out on meth and coke though.

      Mexico doesn't have the death penalty so how can we begrudge the cops a pinata party by using scumbags as the entertainment?

      So.. they are still alive arent' they? whats the problem?
      They had not issues with cutting the heads off a bunch of people and tossing their bodies in the street. Or blowing a place up, or drive by shootings, or sniper shootings, kidnapping, torture, maiming.

        Mexico might be a third-world nation, but it's not as bad as the middle east.

      I see how the police are treated in Mexico, I feel safe around them. If they need to torture the scumbags, go ahead and do it. These guys are the bomb. I feel safe when they are around, and who protects them? Who protects their families? They do the right thing, and if they need to stick a few dealers, then do it!
