Mexican cartel threatens prosititutes who won't pay their protection racket
Another case of violence against women in Mexico, this time with prostitutes being threatened if they refuse to pay money to a cartel:
One of Mexico’s most violent cartels sparked a new controversy by threatening to kill all escorts and other sex workers who don’t pay protection to them. The threats come at a time when Mexican politicians continuously claim a decrease in crime.This is an abomination, and if president Obrador continues to downplay the seriousness of the issue after this, he'll be continuing to subject the country to horrific tragedy that could've been avoided long ago if they really cared.
This week, Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) recorded a video and sent it out to social media showing five cartel hitmen holding five kneeling women at gunpoint. During the video, the cartel gunmen issued their threats.
In the video, the gunmen claimed that any sex work in the region belonged to them, They said they would issue bracelets to all escorts and sex workers to ensure they were working with CJNG. Any who refused would be killed, the gunmen threatened. The fate of the women remains unknown.
The video is believed to have been taken in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, where Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) has been able to carry out numerous mass killings without any real response from Mexico’s government. As Breitbart Texas reported, CJNG gunmen killed dozens of innocent victims in bars and other entertainment venues. They even threatened to kill any innocent civilian or bystander seen entering a bar that was paying protection to CJNG.
