MEXICO CITY: Mexico said Tuesday it has created a database on the hundreds of clandestine graves found in recent years as the country struggles with a wave of violent crime linked to drug trafficking.
"We have to inform the public about these clandestine graves. Although it may hurt, we need to know what really happened and, unfortunately, continues happening," he told a press conference. Such figures had so far been kept by the National Human Rights Commission, which recorded 855 clandestine graves containing 1,548 bodies from 2007 to 2016.But independent research indicates there may be far more, Encinas said. One study identified 1,978 clandestine graves containing 2,884 bodies.
