On 1 March 2024, the Court of the Judicial District of Guridi and Alcocer in Mexico declared human rights defender and indigenous leader Saúl Rosales Meléndez guilty of a murder that happened on 15 April 2022.

Meléndez is a human rights defender and President of the nahua community of San Pedro Tlalcuapan, state of Tlaxcala. He is known locally for leading the community assemblies and for his continuous work in defence of the Matlalcueyetl mountain’s forest -also known as La Malinche-, in face of the environmental damage caused by extractive activities in the area, including illegal logging.
