The family of a Oaxaca government official taken hostage Wednesday after he tried to negotiate with residents blockading a highway in San Juan Mazatlán Mixe say they fear for his life.
“It’s been six days today, and [the Oaxaca government is] unable to resolve a truly serious problem,” his wife told the newspaper
El Universal Sunday. “Six days in which Jorge Toledo Toledo has been without support …”
The family’s comments came in light of photos his captors published Sunday, showing Toledo with his neck and wrists tied to a truck, and apparently being forced to collect money from commuters passing through the blockade.
