Los Angeles Press covers Nestora’s case
The Los Angeles Press coverage of the Nestora Salgado case.
Comandante Nestora es el alias con la que el pueblo identifica a esta mujer que decidió regresar a México y dedicarle parte de su vida al pueblo de Olinalá, Guerrero, México.
Desde hace cuatro años, ella trabajaba voluntariamente con la comunidad, ayudando a erradicar la violencia doméstica, a recolectar donativos de alimentos para las familias más necesitadas y buscar atención médica para niños y mujeres indígenas.
Su interés es ver un Olinalá tranquilo, feliz y con justicia, según lo que ella misma narra a los pobladores.
Pero este interés no es compartido por las autoridades locales, y vieron en ella un peligro para sus intereses privados.
