The transcript discusses a report by Open Society accusing Mexican authorities and the Los Zetas cartel of crimes against humanity, including murders, forced disappearances, and torture from 2006 to 2015. The report highlights over 150,000 intentional murders and thousands of disappearances. It accuses the Mexican government of covering up these atrocities. The government, led by Enrique Peña Nieto, denies these claims, attributing most crimes to criminal gangs. The transcript also addresses human rights violations by the police and military since the 2006 military offensive against narcotrafficking, which has resulted in 100,000 deaths and 22,000 disappearances.
