In 2019, the Mexican saxophonist María Elena Ríos was attacked with acid and was left with permanent injuries to her face. Unfortunately, her case still does not receive justice and, even a few days ago, she used her social networks to warn that Juan “N”, one of the people she identifies as her aggressor, could be released and not for the legal way.
The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), was questioned about the case of the saxophonist and immediately announced that he will request information about the case to find out why the aggressor is still at large.
#A day like today Monday, 10am, it’s been 2 years 8 months since they wanted to kill me with #acid#MyAgressorStayFree
Governor @alejandromurat why don’t you stop it? It is true that my aggressor is his friend and partner…

Elena has denounced Juan Antonio Vera, son of the former PRI deputy, Juan Antonio “N”, as the material author of her aggression and attempted femicide. However, her demands and her complaints to the Oaxaca Attorney General’s Office have been in vain, because on May 9, the saxophonist shared a video in which she assures that she has seen her aggressor in the streets.
Two years and eight months have passed since those five people tried to kill me with acid, one of them is still free: Juan Antonio ‘N’; I have seen it on the street and today it reminds me again of the corruption in the state of Oaxaca, yes, where there will soon be Guelaguetza, mezcal, chocolate is presumed, but where they kill us all…
Despite her multiple complaints, Elena denounced that Juan “N” could be released, since the Oaxaca Court would be about to grant him a requested protection.
Last Friday, the governing board again denied me protection measures. #MiAgresorSigueLibre (Juan “N” junior) his family threatens me and they intend to bribe @tsjoaxaca headed by #EduardoPinacho to free Juan “N” (former deputy).
AMLO was questioned about the lack of justice towards Elena. Given this, the president promised to review the case, saying that the only thing he knows is that he is in the Prosecutor’s Office, but that he will request reports to see the progress of the investigations and understand why the aggressor is free.
In addition to reviewing the possible release of Juan “N”, Elena requests that the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) attend to her case, as a recommendation issued by the National Human Rights Commission, since on Friday, May 27, it was denied. once again the protection with which it previously counted.
