Mexico pays USD8M to citizens perished in fire
(MENAFN) The administration of Mexico has announced that it is going to pay out a total of roughly USD8 million in compensation to the relatives of the 40 migrants who perished in a fire at a detention facility in a border town in Mexico in March.
A couple of migrants from Venezuela are accused of starting the fire on March 27 while protesting the adverse circumstances along with mistreatment at the facility in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, a city on the Rio Grande that is close to El Paso.
Recordings from the fire night show security personnel and immigration agents leaving the structure as the detained asylum seekers stayed inside. The cops reportedly misplaced their cell keys but did not desert the migrants, as reported by Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM).
The fire was “a painful and regrettable event, but it also represents a crucial moment to advance in the processes that guarantee the rights and safeguarding of people in the context of mobility. And non-repetition,” Mexico’s migration body informed in a declaration on Sunday.
For their potential involvement in the fire, eight public officers from the INM, including the agency's leader Francisco Garduno Yanez, are being looked into.
