STATEMENT FROM THE COLECTIVO ARMADILLO SUOMI
FINLAND / July 26, 2025
REGARDING THE RAID ON THE HOME OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE
FRAY BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS
HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER

From the Armadillo Suomi Collective, we express our deep concern, unconditional solidarity, and strong condemnation of the raid on the home of the director of the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Human Rights Center (Frayba), in the state of Chiapas, Mexico.

This act represents a serious violation of human rights and yet another form of harassment and intimidation against those who defend life, justice, and the dignity of the people. We denounce that this aggression is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a continuing campaign of hostility aimed at members of Frayba, a human rights organization with over three decades of committed work in defense of the rights of Indigenous peoples and communities in resistance.

We strongly condemn this violent act and express our full solidarity with Dora Robledo, director of Frayba. We say it loud and clear:

You are not alone!

We call on the Mexican State to:

Immediately guarantee the safety, integrity, and freedom of Dora Robledo and all members of the Frayba Human Rights Center.

Avoid any cover-up or omission that could obstruct justice in the investigation of the raid on her home.

Fulfill its duty to protect the legitimate and essential work of human rights defenders, rather than criminalize them.

From our own geographies, struggles, and resistances, we reiterate:

Frayba is not alone!
We are watching!
Defending rights is not a crime!
