On April 9, the bound and beaten body of 29-year-old labor organizer
Santiago Rafael Cruz was discovered at the Mexico City headquarters
his employer, the Foreign Labor Organizing Committee. (FLOC)

Facing South has an an exclusive report on the murder, which many fear
was retribution for attempting to organize agricultural guest workers
across borders. Facing South has learned that Rafael Cruz's body bore
signs of torture and that he had been harassed and threatened prior to
his murder. Yet police are investigating the death as a common crime,
or an internal union power struggle.
