Lucky Heaven
Trans activist Agnes Torres was found lifeless in a Mexican ditch with burn marks all over her body, alluding to torture. She was naked and her throat had been slashed. She was 28 years old, and as a psychologist and educator, was a leading advocate for trans rights in Mexico. More than 2,000 people held vigil outside Puebla's civic plaza, honouring Agnes's memory and demanding that the murder be classified a hate crime. Since the new year, there have been six recorded attacks on LGBT citizens in Puebla.
