Activists from the Committee 68 Pro Libertades Democráticas have expressed support for the establishment of a Special Prosecutor's Office for the Investigation of Past Social and Political Crimes within the Attorney General's Office. This entity aims to investigate crimes from previous eras, such as the “Dirty War.” Advocates are specifically calling for post-mortem convictions to establish legal truth for crimes against humanity, including the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre. They argue that judicial obligations to reach verdicts of guilt remain even if the accused, such as former high-ranking officials, are deceased. Concurrently, the Judiciary of the State of Mexico has announced preparations to process amnesty requests under new regulations. The Superior Court of Justice has finalized guidelines that expand amnesty criteria to include cases involving gender perspective, human rights failures, or individuals in vulnerable conditions. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-05: Mexico State Judiciary prepares to resolve amnesty requests The State of Mexico Judiciary is set to begin reviewing amnesty requests under new rules, including expanded criteria for gender perspective and human rights violations, within the coming weeks. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-state-judiciary-prepares-to-resolve-amnesty-requests ### 2026-10-02: Mexico activists demand post-mortem convictions for past state crimes Mexico's Committee 68 is calling for post-mortem convictions for officials involved in past state crimes, following the creation of a new special prosecutor's office and a Supreme Court ruling. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-activists-demand-post-mortem-convictions-for-past-state-crimes --- Cite as: Mexico judicial accountability and amnesty developments.
