The Sonora State Human Rights Commission (Comisión Estatal de Derechos Humanos de Sonora-CEDH Sonora) has posted on social media:
“Protecting human rights defenders requires teamwork, constant dialogue and strong support networks.
For that purpose, the president of the CEDH Sonora, Lic. Cervando Flores Castelo, and staff of the State Commission of Human Rights of Sonora held a working meeting with the organization Peace Brigades International (PBI) Mexico to share experiences and explore mechanisms of collaboration that strengthen the accompanying advocates and civil society organizations.
During the meeting, the importance of generating coordinated actions that respond to the specific needs and contexts of those who carry out human rights defense work was discussed.
From the CEDH Sonora we continue to promote spaces for dialogue and cooperation that contribute to the promotion, protection and defense of human rights.”
