Mexico City Orders Five Generación Z Protesters to Stand Trial, One Held in Preventive Custody

Judges cited residency risk in setting measures after clashes in the Zócalo.

Overview

  • A control judge ordered five detainees to stand trial on charges of injuries and theft of police radios stemming from the Zócalo confrontation.
  • Four defendants will remain free under no-contact orders and periodic check-ins, while one was remanded to Reclusorio Norte for lacking a verifiable Mexico City address.
  • The court resolved a name confusion: Brayan Mario faces an injuries count and Brayan Alexis faces a robbery count, with the latter kept in custody.
  • With the latest rulings, 18 people are now linked to proceedings related to the march, with 16 out under precautionary measures and two in preventive detention.
  • In a parallel review, charges for two others were reduced from attempted homicide to resistance of authorities, as defense teams file appeals and an inter-American rights complaint alleging torture reaches federal prosecutors.
