Grief and outrage are building in Mexico following the death of a female Salvadoran refugee who was killed in police custody.

Ms Salazar had lived in Mexico since at least 2018, when she was granted refugee status for humanitarian reasons, and worked in Tulum cleaning hotels."We want justice! We hope this is resolved because everyone saw how my sister was murdered. The police did not act right," Carlos Salazar, the victim's brother, told reporters during her funeral.Nobody deserves to die that way," they said at the funeral.

The Archbishop of San Salvador, Jose Luis Escobar, lamented Ms Salazar's death during a press conference Sunday and urged the governments of El Salvador, Mexico and the United States to defend and respect"the rights of migrants".Ms Salazar's death has sparked outrage on social media and protests against her death, which come amid anger about the rate of femicide in Mexico.
