Activists found the bodies of 27 cartel victims buried in 16 clandestine graves in the Mexican border city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas.
The discovery of the cartel gravesites comes as government officials in Tamaulipas continue making numerous claims about how they have improved the safety in the region.
The discoveries began last Friday when activists with the Amor Por Los Desaparecidos group received information about bodies buried near the Las Fuentes neighborhood in Reynosa. The group began searching and found several bodies on the first day. After four days of searching, the group announced that they had found 27 bodies, but it is believed that there could be many more.
