On 10 April 2014, human rights defender Ms Carmen Ruiz Martínez was followed by two unknown women while going to the market in the town of Juchitán. The women grabbed her as to force her to go with them, but she managed to escape.
The incident occurred shortly after a call threatening to abduct the human rights defender, and followed recent instances of harassment and intimidation.
Carmen Ruiz Martínez is a member of the Asamblea Popular del Pueblo de Juchitán – APPJ (Popular Assembly of Juchitán). The APPJ has been peacefully resisting the construction of the wind-farm Bií Hioxo, which is managed by the Spanish venture capital firm Gas Natural Fenosa (GNF), on the Tehuantepec Isthmus. According to the APPJ, the affected communities have not been properly consulted about the many large-scale development projects which are currently under construction in the Isthmus. Since its inception, the APPJ has repeatedly denounced aggressions against those who work to defend their land and territory.
