Mexican authorities have arrested the alleged murderer of Catholic priest and human rights defender Father Marcelo Perez, who was shot dead in Chiapas. The suspect, identified as Edgar “N,” was caught using security footage and witness testimony. Perez’s work on human rights had been recognized internationally, and his murder sparked condemnation from the U.N. and Catholic officials. The priest had spoken out against drug trafficking in Chiapas, where cartel violence is rampant. Mourners attended his funeral, demanding justice. This incident is part of the ongoing violence in Mexico, with over 450,000 murders since 2006.
