Mexico City Courts Advance Cases From Gen Z March, Reclassify Some Charges

Human-rights complaints alongside unresolved questions about 'Black Bloc' actors keep pressure on authorities.

Overview

  • Judges linked four detainees to process on robbery and injury counts with periodic reporting, while five remain in preventive custody as hearings continue at the Reclusorio Norte.
  • Prosecutors reclassified five attempted-homicide accusations to resistance of authorities, with three individuals still under attempted-homicide review and some hearings paused due to injuries.
  • Investigators say current detainees do not match their intelligence on the long-tracked 'Black Bloc', and a rights specialist described Saturday’s hooded group as unusually violent and separate from the march.
  • PAN deputy Federico Döring filed a complaint to the Mexico City Human Rights Commission alleging excessive force and seeking recommendations and a police-protocol overhaul.
  • Youth collectives including Somos México said they will not join the Nov. 20 call to march, citing insufficient security and the expected military presence.
