The Center for Labor Research and Solidarity and Center PRODH requested the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), as a matter of urgency, to implement precautionary measures to protect the life and physical integrity of the human rights defender Cipriana Jurado Herrera because of the imminent risk to which she is subjected following the murder of her colleague, the activist Josefina Reyes, in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. 

Cipriana Jurado and Josefina Reyes have publicly denounced the human rights violations, including enforced disappearances, committed in Ciudad Juarez in the context of military operations on public security. In the last year, Mrs. Jurado, director of the Center for Labor Research and Solidarity, has been defending cases involving abuses committed by military personnel that have participated in Joint Operation Chihuahua.
