Mexico: Women allege systematic sexual abuse by police

In Mexico, it’s known simply as Atenco – a police crackdown on a protest in the town of the same name nearly 10 years ago.

Mexico’s Human Rights Commission says 26 women were sexually assaulted by officers during the crackdown. But no one has been convicted.

Now several of those women have taken their case to court.

Al Jazeera’s John Holman reports from Mexico City.
