A group of 130 security officers from Chihuahua in Mexico broke up a sit-in protesting a Canadian mine, shooting into the air and arresting two of their leaders in August 2018. Canada's Coeur Mexicana mining company had reached a deal with the people of Guazapares, a small town in the Tarahumara highlands in northern Mexico, to use their territory and extract silver. But since the company failed to comply with the agreement, the community has been campaigning against it for three years. The August 20 sit-in lasted for 10 days until security forces, under the command of Governor Javier Corral, appeared, allegedly without identification or arrest warrants. In a video uploaded to social media, the officers can be heard saying they are not arresting the two leaders, Jose Luis Lozano Mosqueda and Ismael Vargas Gonzalez, but rather taking them to the Public Ministry to reach a deal. Instead, the two were taken to the state capital and detained without charge for a week. A local judge then ordered the men's release, after which it was revealed they had been tortured.
