Defender of migrants rights
returns to Mexico amidst heightened security measures. Father Alejandro
Solalinde, a human rights defender for migrants’ rights, decided to return to
the migrants’ shelter Hermanos en el Camino (Brothers on the Road) which he has
run in Ixtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico since its opening in 2007. During his return to
Ixtepec, Father Solalinde was accompanied by the UN Human Rights Office in
Mexico, which has documented the threats and aggressions suffered by him and
the shelter’s personnel in recent years.
Padre Alejandro Solalinde
Guerra is a Catholic priest, the coordinator of the Pastoral of Human Mobility
for Mexico’s South Pacific Region and founder of Hermanos en el Camino migrant
shelter in Ixtepec, Oaxaca. Padre Alejandro began his mission with migrants,
when the conditions facing hundreds of thousands of Central American people
riding trains northward through Mexico to the United States each year came to
his attention. More
