Teresa Roldán's relative - Voceras de la Madre Tierra
Sources
Between 26 September 2025 and 4 October 2025, visitors and relatives of environmental defender Teresa Roldán were intimidated outside of the house of the defender by a security guard employed by the Irlanda Apartments real estate project in the municipality of Corregidora. Teresa Roldán is an environmental human rights defender who works in the State of Querétaro, Mexico. She is a member of the environmental group Voceras de la Madre Tierra (Women Spokespersons for Mother Earth). Since 2016, she has been actively involved in the defence of areas of great ecological value against deforestation and large-scale housing development.
On 26 September 2025, a group of separate individuals who were going to the Teresa Roldán’s house were detained by the security guard employed by the Irlanda Apartments real estate project.
On 3 October 2025, a relative of Teresa Roldán was on her way to the environmental defender’s house when the same armed security guard approached the car on his motorbike. The guard then shouted at the relative until she was able to enter Teresa Roldán’s house.
The next day, on 4 October 2025, the environmental defender's daughter was leaving her mother’s home in her car when the security guard stood in front of the car, forcing her to drive slowly until she could turn onto a main road.
The Business and Human Rights Centre invited Irlanda Apartments to respond; it did not.
