THE UN says it has evidence of human rights violations in Mexico, including torture and fabricated evidence.

The UN High Commission for Human Rights raised concerns after a shootout involving security services in Acapulco on Sunday, in which 11 people were killed.

Its office in Mexico said that it had information on “torture and ill-treatment, disrespect for the right to a legal defence, evidence fabrication against some detained people, raids conducted without warrants and poor detention conditions.”
