Injured Mexico City Police Officer Leaves Intensive Care After Oct. 2 March Violence

Officials say existing demonstration protocols will stay in place to protect free expression.

Overview

  • Karen Yazmin Alencaster was transferred from intensive care to a hospital room, where she is stable, conscious and not on invasive ventilatory support.
  • Authorities said she remains under observation after receiving autologous and cultured skin grafts to treat burn injuries.
  • The SSC reported her recovery has allowed doctors to reduce pain medications as her condition improves.
  • A total of 94 SSC officers were taken to hospitals after the Oct. 2 unrest, and most have since been discharged.
  • The SSC ruled out major changes to its march protocol, and rank-and-file officers later protested in the Zócalo seeking justice and the removal of commanders.
