La Guerra Sucia
The Supreme Court in Mexico has ruled that two former police officers can be tried for the disappearance of a young revolutionary nearly 30 years ago.

President Fox appointed a special Dirty War investigator
The move clears the way for the possible arrest and prosecution of former officials implicated in the kidnappings of left-wing activists in the late 1960s and '70s.

The ruling has been welcomed by politicians and human rights groups in Mexico and abroad.
The Supreme Court said the statute of limitations did not apply since Mr Piedra's body has never been found and the investigation is still open.
