Transgenders Allege Discrimination by Police (El Sol de Tijuana, 12/24/12 by Adam Mondragon)
Tijuana, BC - The Binational Commission on Human Rights, CBDH, has documented around 96 complaints against municipal police officers for their abuse of transgender people.
The municipal police of Tijuana top the list of departments that abuse more of this highly vulnerable population sector, said Víctor Clark Alfaro, Chief of the CBDH. In an interview, the anthropologist pointed out that more abuses are committed than those reported. "We always learn about aggressions from third parties,” he said.
It was detected that police elements arrested transgenders who work in the tolerance area in Center of the city without cause. They are often detained and incarcerated in facilities at the city jail with other offenders, where once again they become overwhelmed by those who are there.
Municipal governments do not do anything to end the abuses against these people, not even any orchestrated social programs. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldetijuana/notas/n2818803.htm
