It's been 25 years since Mexican medical student Jes�s Piedra Ibarra "disappeared", reportedly at the hands of the State Judicial Police in Monterrey, Nuevo Le�n state. His mother, Rosario Ibarra, has never stopped campaigning for the truth to be known and justice to be done.
In 1977 a group of relatives of the "disappeared" in the state of Nuevo Le�n, led by Rosario Ibarra, created the Committee for the Defence of Prisoners, the Persecuted, the Disappeared and Political Exiles. The organization is also known as the Comit� Eureka. The name comes from the Greek word Eureka, meaning "I have discovered, I have found". Since it was founded, the Comit� Eureka has campaigned successfully for the release of 148 "disappeared" people.
This same work, however, has led to harassment and threats against the organization. Amnesty International has issued numerous appeals in defense of the organization and in support of its work.
In a 1998 interview, Rosario Ibarra was asked what kept her hope alive. In response she took the interviewer to another room in her house, opened the door, and said, "Look."
