María Isabel Bernal

María Isabel Bernal is a dedicated activist and member of the Sabuesos Guerreras collective, tirelessly searching for her son, Yosimar García Cruz, who disappeared in 2017 in Culiacán, Sinaloa. Recently, she has faced multiple death threats due to her investigations into cases of disappearances, particularly in the wake of the Teuchitlán case, which has intensified hostility against families of the disappeared. In her pursuit of truth, Bernal has participated in international forums to raise awareness about the plight of the missing in Mexico, emphasizing the need for protection and recognition of the dangers faced by searchers.
