In 2005, Puebla state police arrested Cacho for alleged defamation, and beat her while in custody, which a federal judge later classified as torture, according to news reports and CPJ reporting from the time. Marín, who was governor from 2005 to 2011, was arrested in Acapulco yesterday and transferred to the city of Cancún, where a judge will determine his legal status, according to those reports. Yesterday, federal authorities announced that they had arrested Marín, the former governor of the central Mexican state of Puebla, for his alleged involvement in the torture of Cacho while she was in police detention in 2005, according to news reports. ![]() Mexico City, Febru– Mexican authorities should thoroughly investigate Mario Marín for his alleged connection to the physical abuse in custody of journalist Lydia Cacho, and ensure that all the perpetrators of that crime are held to account, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. ![]()
