The church, where 45 indigenous people from the Tzotzil tribe were assassinated in 1997, is seen through paper lace in Acteal, Mexico 7, 2009. Mexico on August 12, 2009 freed 20 prisoners jailed for more than a decade in connection with a massacre of dozens of indigenous villagers in a case that has become emblematic of the failings of the Mexican justice system. Their release came after the nation's Supreme Court determined that the prisoners had been convicted in unfair trials of taking part in the 1997 killings in southern Mexico, with prosecutors fabricating evidence.
