Citizens march for the femicide of Ali Jasel Reyes
The femicide of Ali Jasel Reyes, an IMSS doctor, sparked outrage and rejection in Baja California, where family, friends, and colleagues marched to call on authorities to investigate the case and arrest the person allegedly responsible for her death.
With banners and songs remembering the young woman, who was only 31 years old, the doctors called for an end to the violence against the medical profession and demanded answers.
March participants also called for two additional mobilizations to take place in Los Cabos on Thursday and Friday at 6:00 p.m. local time. In both concentrations, they will go to the Government Palace, where they hope for a response to their proposals.

“It is sad, we regret her death and the manner in which she was murdered. It is a femicide that we are investigating. I hope that we will receive an answer from the Attorney General’s Office soon. I join in the pain of the family,” he told Baja California Sur media about the IMSS doctor’s femicide.
