Here is my attempt at capturing some of the information I have read in Spanish on the apparent\u00a0forced\u00a0disappearance<\/a>\u00a0of Aleph Jim\u00e9nez<\/a>, a scientist at CICESE<\/a>\u00a0(one of the leading research centers in Mexico) and the spokesperson for the local branch of the\u00a0#YoSoy132<\/a>\u00a0activist movement. His disappearance is generating a lot of discussion on Mexican social media. For example, his name is currently one of Mexico’s trending topics on Twitter. A couple of things are particularly troublesome about the case:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Jim\u00e9nez was arrested and released for being part of a protest on September 15. Two days later he and his fellow activists held a press conference<\/a> denouncing police repression.<\/li>\n
  2. Subsequently, Jim\u00e9nez reported<\/a> being followed and fearing for his safety.<\/li>\n
  3. Apparently, the bodies of two of his colleagues at CICESE were found in the past few weeks, something that he interpreted as a warning. I was only able to find this news article<\/a>\u00a0about the apparent homicide of one of his colleagues on September 14.<\/li>\n
  4. In an interview<\/a>, Aleph’s father mentioned that he feared the authorities are behind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The CICESE research center has released a statement<\/a> asking for the prompt resolution of the case.<\/p>\n

    The last time he was seen was on September 20. The family seems to have set up a Facebook Page<\/a> and a Twitter account<\/a> to help spread the news and find more information.<\/p>\n

    This is one of the images circulating:<\/p>\n
