organizations stand for femicide Marisela Ortiz Escobedo
"I will not move from here until you arrest the murderer of my daughter" were statements of Marisela, before placing their small camp the Cross of Nails no more, in the City of Chihuahua. She was willing to spend Christmas and New Year at the landmark, which just last November 25, participated in a demonstration together with the mothers of Justice for Our Daughters, to place on the cross, more than 300 names women who have been killed in the state of Chihuahua this year only, 2010.
Ruby, was 16 when he was killed by Sergio Rafael in August 2008. Since he disappeared, his small body was found in a field with bones of pigs, Ruby's mother, Marisela, a retired nurse, dedicated his life to seeking justice for her daughter, becoming human rights defender.
the same day that the Secretary of the Interior, Francisco Blake, called on citizens "to shake the fear to fight criminals," Marisela was killed outside the gates of the Government Palace in Chihuahua City, while on a protest peaceful and indefinite to require the authorities to arrest the murderer of their daughter, Ruby. Marisela
shook not only fear, walked for days from the Deputy City Judicial Justice in Ciudad Juarez to demand punishment for the murderer of his daughter. She was accompanied by a stroller with her granddaughter for two years and a poster with a picture of her daughter Ruby. A trial court freed the murderer, Formwork justice system.
Marisela, tireless fighter, managed in conjunction with lawyers from the Center for Women's Human Rights (CEDEHM) that an appeal court (three judges) to rectify the decision of the judges and succeeded in obtaining a conviction against Sergio Rafael, confessed murderer, which was eventually sentenced to 50 years in prison.
"I'm tired of doing their job, now it is up to them," said Marisela. Indeed, while the authorities failed to find Sergio Rafael, Marisela with their own resources, located in Zacatecas and told to the Office of Chihuahua, who claimed that red tape could not stop.
The Chihuahua State Attorney informed the mother, in coordination with the Attorney General's Office and the State "were searching for the murderer of her daughter around the country." Never found.
For two years, toured the country. He returned to Zacatecas, traveled to Mexico City, where hearing request with the President Calderon and Attorney Arturo Chavez Chavez, who refused to receive it. He met with commanders of the Attorney General's office promised him seek the murderer of her daughter. Neither found.

Later, he interviewed with the Chihuahua State Attorney promised that he would review his case.
Lucha Castro, coordinator of the Center for Women's Human Rights (CEDEHM) said "at this time, we can not rule out any line of investigation, including a state crime as Marisela not going to stop until they stop the murderer of her daughter. " Marisela
died at the gates of the Palace of Government and before the cross of nails to put the network of black women and mothers of young women murdered in Chihuahua state. Marisela was killed for seeking justice.
Mr. President Calderón and Mr. Duarte, Governor of Chihuahua: how far does the responsibility of citizens for justice and where he starts his work as authorities?
Given this disability, number of omissions, contempt and neglect, the Mexican government is responsible and should respond immediately with the murder of Ruby and Marisela.
