Mexican prosecutors are investigating what President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called the “execution” of five men in an incident that has sparked outrage from human rights observers.
Media outlets released a video on Tuesday, appearing to show a group of soldiers pulling the men from a crashed pick-up truck in Nuevo Laredo, a border city in the state of Tamaulipas. The soldiers then beat the occupants before lining them up against a wall and shooting them.
“Apparently this was an execution, and that cannot be permitted,” Lopez Obrador said at a daily press briefing on Wednesday. “Those responsible are about to be turned over to the appropriate authorities.”
