On 14 July 2021, 15 people left the Yaqui community of Loma de Bácum in southern Sonora for the ranch known as Agua Caliente - some 85 kilometres to the north. There they were to pick up some cows to take back to their community for the traditional party that began that day. They did not return to their community. Four of them were released and one more managed to escape from her captors. Ten are still missing: Braulio Pérez Sol, Leocadio Galaviz Cruz, Juan Justino Galaviz Cruz, Gustavo Acosta Hurtado, Benjamín Pórtela Peralta, Heladio Molina Zavala, Fabián Sombra Miranda, Martín Hurtado Flores, Fabián Valencia Romero and Artemio Arballo Canizalez. No criminal group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, which is why the Yaqui community believes that it is a form of pressure from mining companies - in collusion with the authorities - because they want to settle in this community and exploit its natural resources. In recent months, violence against the Yaqui people has intensified, with the disappearance and death of community leaders, rights defenders and activists such as Tomás Rojo, Agustín "El Roque" Valdez and Luis Urbano.
