Federal District-The Standing Committee of Congress urged the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to conduct an investigation into possible human rights violations that may be occurring against the inhabitants of Ejido Huizopa, as part the activities of the transnational corporation Canadian Minefinders Corporation LTD in the locality. In addition, Congress asked the state to follow on the social and environmental impacts that may have mining, while the state governor, José Reyes Baeza Terrazas, requested him to ensure that the case is resolved through dialogue and consultation and not through the use of public force, as well as secure a solution that has a comprehensive proposal that benefits the population of the ejido. On the other hand, requested the secretariats of Economy of Agrarian Reform and Environment and Natural Resources, to submit, within a period not exceeding 30 calendar days, a report on possible irregularities reported on the operation of the transnational corporation, through its subsidiary owned Dolores Mining Company SA de CV. Finally, the Standing Committee urged the federal executive branch to "for the sake of ensuring the observance of human rights of the people of Ejido Huizopa, town of Madera, Chihuahua, report on the presence of elements of the Army and played on the proceedings in the area, as it presumes the presence and involvement of the same elements in the events of May 27 this year. " According to the document approved by lawmakers, "the State has the primary responsibility for promoting and protecting human rights enshrined in international and national legislation, and ensure that transnational corporations and other business enterprises respect human rights." According to information gathered by federal deputies and senators "in recent years Minefinders has engaged in the illegal seizure of more hectares of land area; unilaterally removed the centre of the town ejido without authorization by the General Assembly ejidatarios, and families have been harassed by blasting dynamite that are activated less than a kilometre away from their homes, as a mechanism to pressure to leave the downtown population, but so far the government is acting to investigate these irregularities ". The case of the ejido, cautioned, joins the many communities in the country that is increasingly threatened by the intervention on their land by transnational mining companies that act with total impunity and at the expense of the inhabitants of mining areas. The point of agreement was introduced by the federal deputies Alliet Bautista Bravo, Valentina Batres Guadarrama, Carlos Roberto Martinez, Othón Cuevas, Armando Barreiro, Jose Antonio Almazan, Marcos Matias Alonso Navarro and Carlos Ernesto Lopez, members of the PRD.

Those Chihuahuas bite hard with their little tiny teeth. Paris Hilton has the right idea. Beat Akitas any day. They might have to change the name of the company to Dogfinders. Only 250 million invested so far? Tsk tsk... give a Chihuahua a golden dog food bowl and they still bite you.. "Such as paying additional rent to the already provided by more than 39 million pesos through a usufruct contract, plus a 50 per cent of the profits from the mine. " 50% of profits doesn't sound that unreasonable.. what is on the mind of those greedy bastards at MFN? Really. 18 year payback is fine by me. I don't see what they are complaining about. EC<:-}
