Tragic Loss: Mexico Mourns Death of Pioneering Non-Binary Magistrate

Ociel Baena, Mexico's first openly non-binary magistrate and LGBTQ+ activist, was found dead at home in Aguascalientes. Authorities are investigating the cause of death, which is currently unknown. Baena's body was found alongside another person, believed to be their partner. Preliminary findings suggest it may have been a "personal matter." LGBTQ+ activists are calling for a full investigation into Baena's death, while human rights organizations are questioning if it was related to their gender identity. The former chief justice of Mexico's Supreme Court expressed deep sorrow over Baena's passing, highlighting their advocacy for equality and LGBTI+ rights.
