Overview
- Osmán Iván Rubio Bonilla remains in the Tapachula prison nearly 15 years after his 2011 detention despite being acquitted of a homicide charge on November 4, 2025.
- Frayba and the World Organisation Against Torture called on the Chiapas judiciary to order his immediate release and to investigate abuses.
- The State Human Rights Commission documented lesions compatible with torture in 2020 and issued Recommendation 013/2020-R, which state authorities rejected.
- Rights groups say police contradictions, coerced statements and manipulated forensics underpin three fragmented criminal files that keep him in custody.
- A complaint filed with the UN Human Rights Committee in August 2024, registered in April 2025, remains pending as advocates also cite discrimination and lack of consular assistance.
