The People’s Front in Defence of Land and Water-Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala has posted on social media: Sandra’s murder is a femicide, but also a political murder, an attack on the right to organize of peoples, a way of intimidating and sending a message to anyone who wants to organize for the good of their people.”

Educa Oaxaca has also posted: “Sandra had requested security from the governor of the state, Margarita González Saravia, in August 2025, since she felt that her life was in danger due to the collection of rent from organized crime.”

On March 27, La Jornada reported: “Sandra Rosa Camacho Flores, a social activist from the municipality of Temoac, was murdered by armed individuals yesterday afternoon at her home located in the capital of that demarcation in eastern Morelos, and about 79 kilometers from Cuernavaca.”

La Jornada also reported: “The People’s Front in Defense of Land and Water of Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala demanded justice for the femicide and political murder of social activist Sandra Rosa Camacho.”

“[She was] murdered in her home on the afternoon of Thursday, March 26, for demanding security and denouncing the caciquismo of a criminal cell that has controlled the municipality of Temoac for at least three three-year terms.”

“Members of the movement pointed out that the crime was committed with the same modus operandi as the murder of Samir Flores Soberanes, and complained to the governor, Margarita González, who, despite the fact that Sandra told her that she feared for her life, did not protect her.”

The article also noted: “The activists and opponents of the Morelos Integral Project (PIM), in addition to demanding clarification and justice for Sandra’s political murder from both the state government and the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), also asked the governor: ‘How many more lives are the people of eastern Morelos going to continue to put on the line because of the impunity that continues in your government?’”

Peace Brigades International has accompanied the People’s Front of Land, Water and Air of Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala since early 2020.
